HISTORY OF THE DUROC 



ess 32nd resulted from this cross. Duchess 

 40th was produced by the mating of Walts 

 Col. to Duchess 32nd 13364, just men- 

 tioned in the preceding sentence. This 

 latter cross threw in another tracing to Trou- 

 badour, another to King Stoner, and an- 

 other still to Mora, the show sow men- 

 tioned previously. Duchess 40th 18958 was 

 mated to Protection and produced Ohio 

 Chief and Chief of Ohio. She was mated 

 to Orion 2nd and produced Top Notcher, 

 the head of the Top Notcher family, and 

 was mated to Morton's King and produced 

 Winchester Chief 10077, a boar that added 

 size and strength to Indiana Durocs. 



Thos. Bennett of Illinois bought few 

 boars from other breeders, preferring to 

 line and interbreed, for during the '80s and 

 early '90s we find but two boars in use in 

 his herd from outside breeding. One was 

 Oswego 665 by old Dan Voorhees, un- 

 recorded, mentioned heretofore as being 

 used in the Railsback & Pittsford herd. 

 The other was Legal Tender 2179, pur- 

 chased from S. E. Morton after the latter 

 breeder had used him some time. Boars 

 of his own breeding used in these dozen 

 or more years were Chickasaw Chief 1551, 

 Choctaw Chief 1553, Conqueror 2181, Joe
