HISTORY OF HEREFORD CATTLE 



Renick came with Schooler (fl319), Bedford 

 4th, Renick Sharon, and Weathers, the pick of 

 the Kentucky herds, and high up in the best 

 class, and they ought to be good representatives 

 of the best Shorthorn blood, and we believe 

 were fully up to anything that the Shorthorn 

 men ever exhibited at this show, having indi- 

 vidual and uniform merit. Their two-year-old 

 exhibits were very creditable to the breed, and 

 in their one-year-old, they may consider them- 

 selves fortunate if they can produce another 

 Cleveland (fl320). Under one-year-old they 



were certainly very 

 weak. In grades 

 and crosses they 

 were represented by 

 such breeders as 

 George Elliott, of 

 Harristown, 111. ; 

 J. H. Potts & Son, 

 Jacksonville, 111. ; 

 B. Waddell, Ma- 

 rion, Iowa ; John 

 B. Sherman, Chi- 

 cago, 111.; C. S. 

 Barclay, W. Lib- 

 erty, la.; J. R. 

 Peak, Winchester, 



Barnby Manor, - Nottinghamshire. 1U..J x OrbeS BrOS. 



(If 322 and 323), 



Henry, 111.; T. W. Hunt, Ashton, 111., and 

 John D. Gillette. Our readers will recognize 

 among these some of the leading Shorthorn 

 breeders of the country. 



Mr. Gillette, especially, came with a world- 

 wide reputation as a bullock breeder, and is 

 supposed to have done more to give reputation 

 to the Shorthorn breed of cattle than any other 

 living man, and while his cattle rank high as 

 grades and crosses, the fact still remains that 

 Mr. Gillette gave his life work to developing 

 the Shorthorn as a butcher's beast, having all 

 this time selected the best sires from among 

 the Shorthorn families. 



The Polled Angus breeds were represented 

 by six thoroughbreds and fifteen grades or cross 

 breeds". 



The Holsteins had a small representation in 

 thoroughbreds and grades. 



The Hereford exhibits were creditable to the 

 breeders (ft 321, 1J324), both in thoroughbreds 

 and grades. For the winnings we refer to our 

 account in the different classes. The judging 

 for the different breeds in their purity was com- 

 paratively a tame affair. 



The interest culminated when the three- 

 year-old grades and crosses were brought into 

 competition, and the exhibits were as follows:
