HISTORY OF HEREFORD CATTLE 



In the dressed carcass contest; for best two- 

 year-old carcass, Seabury & Sample's Joe, a 

 grade Hereford, was winner, which also gained 

 the sweepstakes for the best carcass of any age. 

 For carcass showing the greatest amount of 

 edible beef, Mr. Hill's Turiff won. The carcass 

 exhibit was one of the most interesting in the 

 show. With very few exceptions the carcasses 

 were creditable. The weather was very unfa- 

 vorable for the best appearance of the meat, 

 and it was decided that for future shows some 



KATHLEEN. 



Bred by A. P. Turner (sire, The Grove 3d), winner of 15 

 first and champion prizes; exported to Argentine, S. A. 



provision should be made by which meat could 

 be cooled, that exhibitors might have the benefit 

 of the best appearance the different carcasses 

 might make. 



Not a carcass of all that were killed was 

 properly cooled or set, and this had been true 

 up to this time in the majority of all the 

 slaughtering tests. A table of results is in- 

 cluded on opposite page. 



The judgment on the whole was fair, impar- 

 tial and intelligent, and it may be fairly stated 

 that more value may be attached to the awards 

 made at this show than at any former show. 



At the KANSAS CITY FAT STOCK SHOW in 

 1885 (mentioned also in chapter 38), for the 

 best three-year-old dressed carcass, first pre- 

 mium was gained by W. E. Campbell, with 

 grade Hereford. 



The Herefords scored again for best two- 

 year-old carcass, J. S. Hawes taking first pre- 

 mium. Mr. Hawes also gained the champion- 

 ship for best dressed carcass in the show with 

 the same two-year-old Hereford. 



Although in competition between breeds, on 

 foot, the Hereford took only one premium, 

 that to James A. Funkhouser for Challenge 

 under one year old, for carcasses they took two 

 out of three sweepstakes.
