HEAVIEST ST1:i:r ox i:f.( OFiD — Winner of Gold Medal at 

 Chicago Columbian Exposition, 1893. Official weight, 3,755 pounds. 

 This steer does not have the appearance of furnishing the largest 

 proportion of choice cuts of meat to weight of carcass, but considering 

 his extreme heavy weight, he was far from being a freak. BILLY 

 was exhibited round the country, especially in Texas, as a show in 

 himself, and his weight was claimed to have reached the 4,000-pound 

 mark before he died.

 C. Hill & Son, of Rosendale, Wis. Yearly record, 11,246.8 pounds of 

 milk, 713 pounds of butter; also 18 pounds 11.7 ounces of butter in 

 seven days. One of the great aged cows in the Guernsey family.
