122 A HISTORY OF SHORTHORNS IN KANSAS 



ford county gradually built up his herd to about 

 fifty females. Local trade took the surplus and 

 in 1914 Mr. Andrew held a public sale disposing 

 of all but a few of the best females and the herd 

 bull, Orange Major. He has continued his breed- 

 ing operations and his herd which is better than 

 ever is dealt with in Part II. 



From about 1900 to 1917 Marshall Bros, of 

 Cowley county bred Shorthorns, supplying the 

 local and western trade, and producing a desir- 

 able class of cattle with plenty of size. The 

 herd grew to be one of the large ones of the 

 state. Among the best known sires in use was 

 Scottish Prince, a Hanna bred son of imp. Lord 

 Cowslip. At the Stodder dispersion sale Marshall 

 Bros, bought the senior herd bull, the white. 

 Silvermine, the sire of the attractive lot of 

 roan heifers sold by Mr. Stodder. The herd en- 

 joyed an unusually good patronage from Okla- 

 homa breeders until its dispersion in 1917. Lee 

 Marshall who was the active manager of the 

 establishment is now living in Wichita and has 

 transferred his activities from Shorthorns to 

 the manufacture of paint. 



Clay Harrington and H. M. Harrington es- 

 tablished herds in Sedgwick county near Clear- 

 water in about 1900. Although these herds did 

 not become prominent yet they were numbered 

 among the large ones of the state. The surplus 

 was sold principally in Oklahoma.
