514 A HISTORY OP HEREFORD CATTLE 



to John Price of Court House, Herefordshire. In 

 conjunction with his son "Ned" he engaged in the 

 breeding, importation and exhibition of Herefords 

 and in the early '80 's brought out from England 

 132 head of cattle in connection with the firm of 

 Finch, Lord & Nelson of Burlingame, Kans. Many

 won upwards of 100 prizes at leading combelt fairs

 bulls was Regulus 2d (6089), bred by John Price 

 and imported by Mr. Culbertson. He was sired by 

 Eegulus 3849, son of Sir Roger by Sir Thomas. 

 This bull sired among other fine cattle the steer 

 Regulus, champion of the Chicago Fat Stock Show 

 of 1885, fed and shown by Mr. VanNatta. Regulus 

 2d was sold to Nathan Hussey for $1,500. Prob-

 Miss Frere, a daughter of Sir Bartle Frere, that 

 was bought at Carwardine's dispersion sale.
