36 THE BOOK OF LIVE STOCK CHAMPIONS 
HEAVIEST STEER ON RECORD—Winner of Gold Medal at 
Chicago Columbian Exposition, 1893. Official weight, 3,755 pounds. 
This steer does not have the appearance of furnishing the largest 
proportion of choice cuts of meat to weight of carcass, but considering 
his extreme heavy weight, he was far from being a freak. BILLY 
was exhibited round the country, especially in Texas, as a show in 
himself, and his weight was claimed to have reached the 4,000-pound 
mark before he died. ~ 
GUERNSEY COW—GYPSY OF RACINE, 9,639. Owned by Geo. 
C. Hill & Son, of Rosendale, Wis. Yearly record, 11,246.8 pounds of 
milk, 713 pounds of butter; also 18 pounds 11.7 ounces of butter in 
seven days. One of the great aged cows in the Guernsey family.
