CHAUTAUQUA COUNTY 

 Chas. Casement, Sedan. — This is the largest 

 and most prominent herd in Chautanqua county. 

 The cattle are strictly a utility lot, handled to 

 get very good growth and development without 

 an}'' disposition toward forcing. While the herd 

 could have been better developed without injury, 

 yet it has not been underfed or neglected to the 

 extent that deterioration has taken place, rather, 

 the cattle are in the best possible condition to 

 make profitable returns for inci'cased attentio]i 

 given them. 



These c<jws are fi'om desii'able ancestiy. Sev- 

 eral females by St. Valentine 12th by St. Valen- 

 tine were added a few years ago. The herd 

 represents a blending of Scotch ai:d Bates with a 

 touch of Booth and the blood lines chosen have 

 been good ones. This probably came from a dis- 

 position to use tiie right kind of bulls rather than 

 from a study of pedigree, l)ut as is alwa}'s thc^ 

 case, good 1)ul]s come from good ancestry, so I 

 was not surprised to find in evidence near the 

 top of the pedigrees, (Gwendoline's Prince b}'
