552 A HISTORY OF SHORTHORNS IN KANSAS 



Avondale while imp. Lord Banff was the first 

 Scotch bull to sell for more than $5000. 



J. C. Banbury & Sons, Plevna.* This is a 

 herd of 175 head, practically all of which are 

 Polled Shorthorns. It has been built up by the 

 use of excellent bulls from herds noted for qual- 

 ity of output, the three leading Polled herds of 

 America having been heavily drawn on for 

 breeding stock. One of the cows, Miami Golden 

 Drop 2d, came from J. H. Miller, Peru, 

 Indiana, the world's greatest Polled breed- 

 er. Her sire is Sultan of Anoka, one of 

 Mr. Harding 's best productions by the world's 

 greatest sire, Whitehall Sultan. The other cows 

 in the herd are rightly bred and are of very pop- 

 ular blood lines, including splendid specimens 

 from leading herds in Indiana, Missouri and 

 Kansas. 



One of the herd bulls, Orange Champion, came 

 from J. H. Miller's twelve years ago. He was by 

 Roan Archer, also bred by Mr. Miller, in fact, 

 the ancestry of this bull was largely of the Miller 

 breeding. Sultan's Pride is by the International 

 grand champion Polled bull, True Sultan, a 

 noted sire of prize winners, a son of Sultan of 

 Anoka, and one of the smoothest, best finished 

 bulls of any breed ever seen on the western show 

 circuit. Sultan's Pride was also a first-class 

 show bull having been first and junior champion 



Farm in Reno and Pratt counties.
