HISTORY OF HEREFORD CATTLE 



us that the carcass must have shrunk at least 

 40 pounds. This would make 1,163 pounds, 

 the most wonderful exhibit we have ever seen. 

 She weighed alive the morning she was killed, 

 1,650 pounds. She cuts up well, but not so 

 well as the steers, she being very much fatter 

 than they. Her lean meat is the tenderest and 

 most juicy we ever saw. 



After a careful examination into the merits 

 of the different animals slaughtered by us for 



Christmas, we consider the Herefords far ahead 

 of any of the other breeds for quality and 

 profit to the butcher and consumer. 



We are very much elated with the success 

 of our show this year, and our intentions are 

 to increase it next year. We will try to buy 

 all your fat cattle next fall. Please let us 

 know when you are ready to sell. 

 Very truly yours, 



WM. SMITH & SON. 



A. P. TURNER, 

 Of "The Leen," Herefordshire.
