366 A HISTORY OF SHORTHORNS IN KANSAS 



ton has a large herd of Shorthorns which is be- 

 ing handled in a way to bring out the degree of 

 development found in the average herd. Fair 

 size, smoothness and uniformity are noticeable 

 features. Mr. Etherington started some years 

 ago with a few cows bought from local breeders. 

 He has been using good bulls and retaining the 

 heifers, selling his bull calves to the farmers near 

 by. It is evident that the herd has been prolific 

 and profitable. 



One of the first bulls used was bred by D. P. 

 Norton and was sired by Buccaneer. Then came 

 Vindicator by Collynie out of Belle Abbotsburn 

 by Young Abbotsburn, the grand champion of 

 America for several years. From Kellerman & 

 Son was secured a bull by Lavender Dorrit out 

 of a dam by Lavender King 4th. A dash of 

 Bates blood was introduced through a son of 

 Winsome Duke llth. H. G. Brookover's herd 

 furnished a son of Rosewood, the son of imp. 

 Inglewood and imp. Roseleaf by Scottish Archer.

 by True Sultan, International grand champion,

 in the state or nation. Roan Acacia, a big fellow 

 bred by D. C. VanMce and sired by the well 

 known Belvedere, the excellent prize winning 

 and breeding bull used so long by Mr. VanMce, 

 is also in service.
