142 A HISTORY OF SHORTHORNS IN KANSAS 



champion steer at the International in 1916 and 

 has a record of 8733.1 pounds of milk. 



8. Sultan's Rose 489202 has developed into a 

 cow of outstanding beef type with a lot of char- 

 acter, quality and size. She is sired by a grand- 

 son of Whitehall Sultan; her dam by a son of 

 Whitehall Sultan and her second dam by the 

 Marr "Missie" bull imp. Golden Banner. Sul- 

 tan's Rose made the registry of merit for milk 

 production with a record of 5639.8 pounds of 

 milk as a two-year-old. 



An interesting feature relating to these milk 

 records is the fact that none of these cows except 

 Gwendoline 79th and Sultan's Rose were milked 

 until they were mature cows, Cream Toast for 

 instance being seven years of age before entering 

 the experiment. Neither have these cows been 

 forced for milk production. They have been 

 maintained simply as beef rather than dairy 

 cows. 



All heifers will be developed and whenever a 

 heifer develops into a better beef type cow, pro- 

 duces a better beef type calf and at the same time 

 produces more milk than a cow in the experi- 

 ment then such heifers will be substituted for 

 the less desirable cows in the experiment.
