1 98 CATTLE 



Shorthorn cattle. These are often termed "double standard" 

 because of being eligible to registration in both the American 

 Shorthorn Herdbook and the Polled Durham Herdbook. Very 

 naturally, with the development of the " single standard " class, 

 breeders began to watch for pure-bred Shorthorns free of horns. 

 This branch has its origin in several Shorthorn families, notably 

 the White Rose, Young Phyllis, and Gwynne. 



The cow Oakwood Gwynne 4th, registered in Volume XV 

 of the American Shorthorn Herdbook, was bred by W. S. King

Fig. 79. Golden Hero 2847-150363, the leading Polled Durham bull on 

 the show circuit in 1903 and 1904. Grand champion male of the breed 

 at the Louisiana Purchase E,\position, 1904. Owned and exhibited by 

 A. C. Woods & Sons, Pendleton, Indiana. Photograph from owners 



of Minneapolis, Minnesota, and was calved May 12, 1873. She 

 had but very slight horns, or scurs, being almost polled. Bred to 

 Seventh Duke of Hillhurst 34221, she produced twin female 

 calves, Mollie Gwynne and Nellie Gwynne (Vol. XXIII, p. 728), 

 that developed true polled heads. When later bred to Bright 

 Eyes Duke 31894, she produced as a result a red bull calf that 

 was a true polled animal, which is recorded as King of Kine 

 87412. In 1888 W. S. Miller of Elmore, Ohio, purchased these 

 three offspring of Oakwood Gwynne 4th, and with them 

 developed a herd ©f pure polled Shorthorns. King of Kine was 

 used in the herd three years and proved a very prepotent breeder,
