The leading bulls in use were Victor Orange 

 and Star Goods, in fact the herd was founded

 bull, and had he been given a chance to show well 

 developed daughters he would have taken rank as 

 one of the best bulls used in Kansas for years. 

 It is only now since his daughters are scattered 

 in many herds that he is being appreciated. Mr. 

 Hill, in his private herd catalog, devotes a full 

 page to Victor Orange. He was by the Bates 

 crossed Scotch Victor Butterfly out of a dam 

 by Scarlet Knight. Star Goods was a full 

 brother to Bellows Bros.' champion, Diamond 

 Goods, and was used on the Victor Orange cows. 

 Most breeders rated him hardly so good a sire 

 as Victor Orange. 



Mr. Stunkel was taken sick at the Denver 

 Show and died shortly after reaching home in 

 March 1916. The entire herd of about 250 head, 

 including calves at foot, was sold in August at 

 administrator 's sale. The cattle were in poor 

 condition and brought an average of about $150.
