Great Sale of Superior Tliorougli-Bred Sliort Horn 

 Cattle. 



THE subscriber having more Stock than he can well sustain on 

 his farm, will offer at Public Auction about THIRTY head .of 

 his Improved Short Horn Cattle, consisting of Bulls, Cows. Heifers 

 and Bull Calves, on the 2Gth day of June next, at his farm 2)^ miles 

 from this city. 



It is known to breeders of improved stock, in this country, and 

 in Canada, that the proprietor of this herd during the past 12 

 years, has through the medium of importations from (England, and 

 selections from the best herds in this country, spared no expense 

 to rear a herd of cattle from which superior animals couid be safe- 

 ly drawn for improvement and crosses upon other br eds. His 

 importations have been derived from that eminent breeder, the 

 la e Thomas Bates. Esq . of Kirklevington, Yorkshire. England, 

 which herd it is well known has recently been disposed of at public 

 sale by his adminstrators, and dispersed into many hands, andean 

 no longer be resorted to as a whole, for improvement. The an- 

 nouncement of that sale created great interest, and all Short Horn 

 breeders in England seemed emulous lo secure one or more of these 

 animals to miagle with the blood of their own herds, and at the 

 day of sale, there was found assembled the largest audience ever 

 before witnessed upon a similar occasion, numbering, as was Kiid, 

 from 4 to 5,000 persons, and among them the best breeder,^ In Eng- 

 land, and several from other countries. Some of the aninials bro't 

 prices which seemed incredible to many. 



In the herd now offered for sale, will be included the Imported 

 Bull, Duke of Wellington, and the premium Bull, Meteor. 'J hese 

 are Bates' Bulls, and their reputation as stock-getters are too well 

 known to need any comment. lam authorized to say by Lewis 

 K. Allen. Esq., of Black Rock, one of the most prominent breeders 

 in this country, and who has had ample means of forming a judg- 

 ment. ■■ That in no instance, to his knowledge, had these two Bulls 

 been bred to Short Horn Cows of other herds, previously iui^ioited 

 into the United States, but that their produce were superior in 

 general qualities to such herds." 



The most of the Stock which is now offered for sale, have been 

 bred from these two Bulls ; and the proprietor, having a young 

 bull more remotely connected with that portion of the herd he re- 

 tains, (being about 14 in number,) can ^pare these two valuable 

 Bulls. There will be in the Slock offered for sale, 6 young Bulls, 

 from 8 months old to 2 years, in addition to the two named above ; 

 and the remainder of the Stock will be composed of Cows, (most 

 of them possessed of extraordinary milking qualities.) Heifers and 

 Heifer Calves. It ii believed that no herd of Short Horns has ever 

 been offered for sale in this country, exhibiting more of the valu- 

 able combinations of qualities which contribute to make up per- 

 fect animals. 



A Catalogue containing the po 'igrees of these animals will be 

 ready for delivery at an early period, in which the Terms of the 

 Sale will be particularly stated. A Credit will be given from Six 

 to Eighteen months. Gentlemen are invited to examine the herd 

 at their convenience. GEO. VAIL.
