A HISTORY OF SHORTHORNS IN KANSAS 



farm with aburdant pasture and alfalfa and a 

 silo furnishes succulent winter feed. That the 

 Shorthorn business will continue to be carried 

 on successfully here seems assured for the sons 

 of the family are even more interested than is 

 Mr. Heacock himself. 



Several bulls have been used more or less but 

 the leading one is Brawith Heir 351808. He was 

 bred by Tomsons and sired by Gallant Knight's 

 Heir, first prize bull at the Kansas State Fair 

 and elsewhere. His dam is Gratitude 5th by White 

 Goods, the great son of Choice Goods and imp. 

 Bessie 51st, owned by Thomas, Jameison & 

 Mitchell. Brawith Heir has been used in the 

 herd with good results. A new bull, Augusta's 

 Archibald by the Anoka bred Right Stamp by 

 Sultan Stamp, has just been bought. Augusta's 

 Archibald is out of imp..Brandby's Augusta 4th 

 and carries the prestige of most excellent an- 

 cestry. 



C. L. Buchanan, Lebo. Mr. Buchanan is one 

 of the older breeders of C of fey county, having 

 started with Shorthorns in 1906. A few years 

 ago he held a successful public sale and there are 

 now about thirty females in the herd. The ma- 

 ture cows are of good size for some of the 

 older ones have been sold on the market and the 

 average weight of 1400 pounds off grass proves 

 the assertion. There has been no systematic ef- 

 fort made to keep up with the fashion in blood
