THE " ROUND-UP :

' ' When he was a yearling we went to some county 

 fairs where he was champion, and then to Colum- 

 bus, where he was first and junior champion. As a 

 two-year-old Perfection Fairfax was not shown. We 

 used him as our herd bull, but never let him down 

 from show shape. As a three-year-old we showed 

 him and came near cleaning up the most of the 

 boys. They realized he was 'some show bull' at 

 three years old, and by that time we knew he was 

 'some breeder'! But there is one thing very funny 

 to me about Perfection Fairfax, and to think of it 



often makes me smile. When Mr. Huxley and I 

 showed him lots of the breeders would grant that 

 he was a good show bull, but usually added that he 

 would be no breeder. I meet these same breeders 

 around the fairs now, and I often say in a joking 

 way: 'Perfection Fairfax is a good show bull, but 

 he'll make no breeder.' I usually spring this when 

 I see his get head towards their stalls with blue rib- 

 bons tied to them, and sometimes the red, at our 

 very biggest fairs.
