920 A HISTORY OF HEREFORD CATTLE 



During the Kansas City show 50 head, mostly 

 bulls, were sold at an average of $262. As far as 

 bulls were concerned, this exceeded the average of 

 prices at the sale of 1910 by $95. This was partly 

 due to the presence upon this occasion of ranchmen 

 buying for export to Hawaii. The highest price of 

 the sale was $1,050 for the two-year-old show heifer 

 Banza, contributed by R. H. Hazlett, El Dorado, 

 Kans., and bought by J. P. Cudahy. Cudahy had 

 in the meantime acquired possession of Dr. Logan's 

 famous champion heifer Scottish Lassie. At this 

 sale Laredo Boy was sold by his breeder, C. L. 

 Browning of Laredo, Mo., to Carl Miller, Belvue, 

 Kans., at $610. He had won a red ribbon in the 

 show. On Nov. 9 Makin Bros, sold 63 head at an 

 average of $146.30, the 12 bulls averaging $208.95. 

 They were topped by Paragon 12th taken by John 

 Gosling at $450. J. P. Cudahy bought Celandine 2d, 



time maintaining a sale stable in charge of George Waters. While 

 here Tom went to Quebec to take charge of 60 head of cattle then 

 in quarantine that had been imported by George Leigh. These were 

 intended for the Lee & Crane farm near Independence, Mo. From 

 the quarantine station Andrews came to the Chicago Fat Stock Show 

 with four steers, one of which, a purebred Hereford, won the two- 

 year-old championship over all breeds. 



This was perhaps the first job of fitting for which Tom had full 

 personal credit, and he naturally felt proud of his achievement upon 

 that occasion. After this he returned to the Crane farm at Inde- 

 pendence. In the autumn of 1886 he went to England, and after his 

 return was for about three years with Z. T. Kinsell of Mt. Ayr. la. 

 In 1895 he was with the F. A. Nave show herd, and in 1896 was en- 

 gaged by Mr. J. H. Miller, Peru, Ind., to take 23 head of cattle to 

 Buenos Aires, South America. In 1902 he showed the F. L. Stude- 

 baker herd. Subsequently he fed for the Messrs. VanNatta of La- 

 fayette for two years. In 1908 he revisited England and on his return 

 assisted with the preparation of Frank Nave's cattle for the closing- 

 out sale at Chicago. After this engagement he went to Michigan, 

 showing a herd for Merritt Chandler, and in 1910 was with the Cyrus 

 A. Tow cattle. Once again he went back to Herefordshire, and on 

 returning to America was again with the herd of W. S. VanNatta 

 & Son, staying with the firm until the closing-out sale after Mr. 

 VanNatta's death. It thus appears that Andrews was helping with 

 the first Herefords Mr. VanNatta ever exhibited, as well as with the 

 last. In 1913 he was with the W. H. Curtice cattle in Kentucky, and 

 at the present time (1914) is in the employ of the Messrs. Berry, 

 Mt. Vernon, la.
