930 'A HISTORY OF HEREFORD CATTLE 



we may summarize the show sea^bn of 1912 with 

 the statement that the chief honors of the year, 

 the Kansas City and Chicago championships, were 

 reaped by Mr. Cudahy's Fairfax 16th 316931 and

 sie headed the aged cows and was again senior and 

 grand champion female. O. Harris & Sons ran away
