598 A HISTORY OF SHORTHORNS IN KANSAS 



by Henry Stunkel from Jos. Duncan of Missouri 

 and is largely the result of the use of four good 

 bulls. Some of the cows are bred within the 

 so-called Scotch lines while others are not, but 

 all are from excellent ancestry and of the choicest 

 breeding. 



The four bulls referred to, named in the order 

 used, are Knight of Meadow Farm 3d, Victor 

 Orange, Star Goods and Cumberland Diamond. 

 Knight of Meadow Farm 3d was a Forbes- W. A. 

 Harris product, his sire, Baron Golddust 3d, 

 having been by Baron Grloster and his dam by 

 Lord of Linwood, a son of imp. Baron Victor 

 out of imp. Lady of the Meadow, a cow later 

 destined to become famous as the dam of Lord 

 Mayor. The cows by Knight of Meadow Farm 

 3d developed into exceptional breeders. Victor 

 Orange was a bull that left the rather unusual 

 record of having sired extra good breeding bulls 

 and extra good producing cows. These cows 

 were not generally of show yard type but every 

 one I have seen was a big, rugged, straight lined, 

 good bodied cow with feminine head and neck. 

 They all produce strong, lusty calves and it be- 

 came a recommendation for size and quality for 

 any calf to have a Victor Orange dam. Victor 

 Orange came by his ability to sire such cattle, 

 honestly. His sire was by Victorious and his 

 dam by Scarlet Knight, two of the best bulls of 

 their day and both sires of outstanding merit.
