(6841), out of Maggie of Tarbreoch (8613), 

 was imported to this country in 1900, 

 where he obtained great distinction in 

 the show ring on many occasions and 

 sold at auction in Chicago at $2,050 the 

 highest price ever paid for a Galloway 

 in America. At the 1901 International 

 McDougal 4th of Tarbreoch stood second, 

 one place above his sire, in the aged bull 

 class. 



In his great value as a sire Scottish 

 Standard stands as the greatest Gallo- 

 way bull that has yet lived in America, 

 and no doubt as one of the most prepo- 

 tent of the breed in any land. The im- 

 portance of this great- bull as a breeder 

 can be in part seen in the following show 

 yard record of his progeny in the United 

 States. Scottish Standard 1st 18538 is 

 perhaps his greatest son. In 1901 he was 

 the first prize Galloway bull calf at the 

 Indiana and Illinois state fairs and fourth 

 at the International. As a yearling, in 

 1902, he won first place at the Wiscon- 

 sin, Indiana, Iowa and Minnesota state 

 fairs and at the International Live Stock 

 Exposition, and was also junior cham- 

 pion Galloway bull at these shows. In 

 its review of the Iowa state fair Gallo- 

 way show, referring to Scottish Standard 

 1st, the Breeder's Gazette said: "Brook- 

 side boasts one of the greatest sires 

 known to the breed in old Scottish Stand- 

 ard, but if he had never begotten an- 

 other calf than this one under praise he 

 would have lived in history. * * * Of 

 Galloway type and character this fellow 

 is fully master; he has ample scale, 

 grand levelness, remarkable width and 

 strength of back and fine condition. 

 When he fills a little about the tail head, 

 as he probably will, there will t be as 

 few flaws to pick in him as any repre- 

 sentative of the breed that ever stood 

 before the public on this side the water. 

 Such sweeping compliment does not 

 often find record in these columns; it ap- 

 pears only when the facts warrant it." 

 In 1903 Scottish Standard 1st was first 

 prize 2-year-old Galloway bull at the 

 Indiana, Illinois, Minnesota and Iowa 

 state fairs, and at the Kansas City Royal 

 show and at the International Live Stock 

 Exposition. In these shows he was also 

 champion. McDougal 4th of Tarbreoch 

 is also a worthy son of Scottish Stand- 

 ard. In 1901 he was second in class at 

 the International and in 1902 first prize 

 aged and champion at Wisconsin, Min-
