228 A HISTORY OF SHORTHORNS IN KANSAS

 Choice, from which mating a heifer calf was se- 

 cured. A short time ago I saw the original pur- 

 chase and I have seldom, if ever, seen a sixteen- 

 year-old cow carrying a calf and showing so 

 much vigor. She looks about like the average

 will have produced her fourteenth calf. This 

 cow, known to the breed as Westlawn Blanche,

 are nearly all suckling excellent calves and the 

 man whose admiration they would not excite cer-

 horns. 



The heifer by Good Choice, after having pro- 

 duced numerous calves and having quit breeding, 

 was shipped to market as an eleven-year-old cow, 

 without any special feeding, bringing a little less 

 than $250. Numerous small herds have been 

 started from the daughters and granddaughters 

 of this cow.

 Belle 2d, a roan of accepted Scotch breeding. 

 She is quite a good individual. Imported Sudie 

 Maid bred by the S. Campbell Estate is also in 

 the herd. Her sire, Sittyton Yet, was a Duthie
