BUYING A PURE BRED BULL 125 



Langwater Fearless, 77111, page 124, for $7500 by 25 of the foremost 

 breeders of Columbia County, Pennsylvania. The money was 

 raised by the sale of shares at $25.00 each. Each share carries 

 with it the right to one service during the period of five years. 

 Each breeder has made himself responsible for the number of 

 shares he expects to require. A breeder having 25 shares will get 

 five services a year for the period of five years. This represents 

 the high extreme to which community breeding may go. Of 

 course a group of men in a neighborhood could go into this sort of 

 thing on any scale. 



192. The pedigree of Langwater Fearless.— On page 126 is 

 shown the pedigree of this young bull. It was said that he was the 

 most valuable young Guernsey bull in the world at the time of the 

 Langwater dispersal sale in June, 1922. In connection with the 

 idea of advertising as expressed in another paragraph the whole 

 community gained from the purchase of this bull and all the 

 Guernsey cattle in Columbia County of May Rose and Langwater 

 breeding will be distinctly benefited from the fact that a young 

 bull of exceptionally popular blood lines is coming into their part 

 of the country. These men have done more than to buy a bull. 

 They have put their community on the map and have stimulated 

 better breeding and better care of animals in that whole part of 

 Pennsylvania. 



193. His ancestors. — A study of the pedigree will show that 

 he is a son of Langwater Phyllis, 70607, who is a granddaughter of 

 Imp. King of the May, 9001. She has a record of 13,288.4 pounds 

 of milk and 746.23 pounds of butter fat at two years of age. His 

 sire was Langwater Warrior, 26509, who is a son of Imp. King of 

 the May, 9001. Imp. King of the May, 9001, was the greatest sire 

 of his day. The dam of Langwater Warrior was Langwater Lily, 

 26606, who in turn was the dam of Langwater Levity, 70293, that 

 made 12,785.9 pounds of milk and 662.15 pounds of butter fat as a 

 three-year-old. 



This shows the value of this young bull because of the line 

 breeding to Imp. King of the May, 9001, and the very fine breeding 

 and records of his nearby ancestors.
