A HISTORY OF SHORTHORNS IN KANSAS 59 



the year the cows produced one heifer and two 

 bull calves. Another Biley county herd that was 

 established about this time or a little earlier was 

 that of John J. Lovett. Some of his cattle were 

 very good and some were of quite medium qual- 

 ity. He kept his herd only a short time, selling 

 some to local breeders and some to the Hamiltons 

 of Kentucky, who put them in their Kansas City 

 sales. 



Late in the seventies Lanson Eaton bought a 

 number of good cattle from James O'Neal & Son 

 and other local breeders which were kept for a 

 few years on his Shawnee county farm.
