 came from St. Marys College. Through Baron 

 Marr they bring in the blood of Cumberland's 

 Last and imp. Lady Marr. The herd bull, a 

 white, is by Cumberland's Knight 412231, which 

 puts the best blood of the breed among the an- 

 cestry into this foundation. Mr. Wyker is located 

 in a splendid cattle country and he has plenty of 

 blue grass and alfalfa. He is planning to raise 

 big Shorthorns. 



R. Scott Buck, Eskridge.* Mr. Buck has 

 been in the Shorthorn business for twenty years 

 and has a herd of thirty females which are being 

 developed as Polled Shorthorns with special at- 

 tention to milking quality. The bulls used have, 

 in the main, come from the outstanding Polled 

 herds. The present herd bull is Emancipator 

 459969 bred by W. G. Martin and sired by Dual 

 Evergreen 367499.
