A HISTORY OF SHORTHORNS IN KANSAS 365 



and light colors, the young females in the herd by 

 him being very uniform and of most pleasing 

 Shorthorn type and character. 



I glanced over the pedigrees of Mr. Lovett's 

 cattle and found a wealth of Shorthorn excel- 

 lence near the top. Whitehall Sultan, Gaveston 

 Collynie, imp. Salamis, Victor Orange, Non- 

 pareil Victor, Choice Goods, Silk Goods, imp. 

 Inglewood, March Knight, Spartan Hero, Prince 

 Pavonia, Searchlight, Lavender Viscount and 

 Baron Lavender 2d give an idea of the breeding 

 of the herd. Among the choice cows are Long- 

 branch Queen whose name indicates her origin, 

 Scotch Lady by Eoyal Sultan 38Q246 out of 

 Scotch Mysie 7th 141050 and Lady Wharton of 

 M. H. Lyon's breeding. 



Mr. Lovett's method of handling is in keeping 

 with the general character of the herd and its 

 owner. Constant growth is the desired object. 

 While good blood lines do not always insure good 

 cattle, yet Mr. Lovett has met the final test. His 

 herd is not large, numbering only thirty head but 

 from this little herd he made showings at Eureka, 

 Predonia and Tola in 1919, winning every first in 

 each class except two at these three fairs. In 1920 

 a larger showing was made with even greater suc- 

 cess. Three head were shown at Topeka and all 

 were well in the money, his two-year-old heifer 

 having stood third in open class.
