 in the summer of 1913 included the good show bull

 Britain on account of the European war interfered

Distribution of the Heref ords. Believing that an 

 approximate general idea of the distribution of 

 pedigree Heref ords in different parts of the United 

 States would be of interest, the author requested 

 Secretary Kinzer of the Hereford association to 

 prepare some figures covering this point. These 

 are submitted herewith. The figures are based on 



an estimate of a total of 120,000 head of registered 

 cattle now living, and include all states in which 

 there are 250 head or more.
