THE SHOCK OF SHOWYARD WAR 549 



seen in America. In expanse of loin he has certainly 

 never been excelled by any bull of any breed ever 

 seen in the American showyard, and he was smooth, 

 but for a dimple in his back, and heavily wrapped 

 in deep mellow flesh. The decision which sent first 

 at this Des Moines show to Yeomans ' Blenheim over 

 Beau Real in the class for two-year-old Hereford 

 bulls was not generally approved, not even by Mr. 

 Yeomans himself. Melody 16th again was female 

 champion. 



At Lawrence, Kans., Shockey & Gibb had the 

 senior bull prize in Beau Real's half-brother, Beau 

 Monde. He was a broad-backed bull full of good 

 flesh and with excellent character and quality. He 

 represented a cross of Anxiety 4th upon The Grove 

 3d blood, his dam being Beauty 2d 9901. The exhi- 

 bition by Shockey & Gibb of this extraordinary pair 

 of bulls drew marked attention to the great Gudgell 

 & Simpson sire. 



At Lincoln, Neb., C. M. Sears of Aurora had first 

 in aged bulls with Prince of Wales 8912 over Hawes ' 

 Fortune and Sir Evelyn. Beau Real was first in 

 two-year-olds and champion male. Two very grand 

 heifers destined to fame, Lady Wilton and Miss 

 Beau Real, were features of this show. The Beau 

 Real herd won the grand championship over all 

 breeds. 



sustain their sire's showyard reputation, such as Miss Beau Real, 

 Miss Beau Real Lad 3d, Curly Lady and Beau Real's Maid. 



"If I were to criticise Beau Real I would say to change his horn 

 a trifle, remove the 'dimple' in his back and make him a bit 

 strais-hter in hind legs. I never saw such a thick broad loin. He 

 was well flanked fore and aft and his quarters were well filled 

 and beautifully finished."
