886 A HISTORY OF HEREFORD CATTLE 



VanNatta & Son. 7, Miss Donald 3d; sire, Beau 

 Donald 5th; 0. Harris. 



"Much wrestling produced the prizelist here. It 

 would have been easier were 't'other dear charmer 

 away,' but she was not. She was right there and 

 silently but none the less forcibly demanding con- 

 sideration. For the blue ribbon wearer it may be 

 said that she is a nugget that finds her most notice- 

 able weakness at the rumps. The forerib is phe- 

 nomenal, the face pleasing, the veins full, the flanks 

 well let down, and the back turned out of a mold 

 including the hips, which are imbedded almost 'out 

 of feel.' Kathleen carries a little more depth of 

 rib, some greater size, but hardly the width. She 

 is finished about the head and neatly put together 

 in the shoulders. Mayflower was at a double dis- 

 advantage, she was short of age and a suit of hair. 

 The hand found plenty of flesh to make an interest- 

 ing fight with those above her, but a curly coat 

 gives an advantage to the eye that is with difficulty 

 counteracted by the hand. She lacks the depth of 

 her competitors, but is sweet, level on top and 

 rounding in her outlines, neatly finished at the tail 

 and full in neck-veins. Belle Donald 77th stands 

 nearer the ground than the others, is firm to the 

 touch, but not neat at the tailhead. Her half sister 

 Belle Donald 76th is a broad-faced big-framed 

 heifer with even more weight of flesh. Lady March 

 On is a deep and roomy heifer, with a little uneven- 

 ness about the hooks. Miss Donald 3d is a wide- 

 topped one and carries plenty of flesh where it 

 should be laid on.
