 Sutton, Russel, Kans., Cross Bros., Durand, 111., R. 

 Nagle & Sons, Grand Ridge, 111., D. H. & J. W. Snyder, 

 Georgetown, Tex., and W. Sprole, Traer, la., were 

 among the many who bought mares of the EUwoods, 

 and in some instances stallions as well. An analysis 

 of the produce records of the imported mares sold 

 shows that they were not as a whole very regular 

 breeders, even in the hands of subsequent owners, 

 and their influence on the breed has been much less 

 than it should have been. 



Noted Sires Sold. — Seducteur was the greatest sire 

 sold. Superieur 5752 (2188), a very good horse and 

 good breeder, went to head the De Lancey stud. 

 Niger 4986 (2951) and Picador 3d 5078 (4815) 

 were good horses sold in 1887 and 1888 to head the 

 Minnesota Percheron Horse Company stud at Caze- 

 novia, and the company bought a carload of the best 

 mares EUwood had about this time. Mark M. Coad, 

 Fremont, Neb., who also had ranches in "Wyoming, 

 bought three sires about 1887, one of which, Turc 

 6539 (10052), proved to be a very prepotent stallion, 

 probably one of the best, if not the best, ever used 

 west of the Missouri River. There were numerous 

 others that had less opportunity, but that have done 

 much good in local spheres.
