494 A HISTORY OF HEREFORD CATTLE 



breed since Anxiety first appeared. Offers of $5,000 

 were refused for him. It is doubtful if a more at- 

 tractive bull of any beef breed had ever been seen in 

 American showyards. Morgan had placed him in 

 capable hands for feeding at Camargo, 111., after 

 release from quarantine, and when the bull put 

 in his appearance in September at the Illinois 

 and Iowa state fairs and held his memorable 

 court at "the great St. Louis'' round-up it was con- 

 ceded that any breed that could produce Anxiety and 

 "repeat" with Eudolph was no longer to be held in 

 scorn. While the whole western cattle-breeding 

 world was still resounding with his praises the bull 

 was shipped to Cheyenne. He was exhibited at Den- 

 ver in 1884 at a weight of 2,600 pounds. The range 

 fell at his feet as had the cornbelt the previous fall, 

 but alas, as in the case of Anxiety, the plaudits of 

 the people were gained at a heavy cost. He died in 

 May, 1885, after a 55-pound tumor had been removed 

 from his breast. He had not proved specially suc- 

 cessful as a sire. His opportunities were limited, 

 but he lacked somewhat in masculinity about the 

 head. 



The Grove 3d Imported. The purchase of Eu- 

 dolph at a record price and his presence in the west 

 during the summer of 1883 stimulated the already 

 keen interest in Mr. Turner's famous son of Horace, 

 and Mr. Culbertson decided to renew his effort to 

 secure him for breeding purposes at Hereford Park. 

 The bill was included in the sale of September, 1883, 

 at The Leen, as referred to in a preceding chapter.
