332 THE PORTRAIT GALLERY 
LORD BANFF 
135. The dark roan bull Lord Banff 150178 (77031), was 
calved in Scotland January 10, 1899, having been bred by ALEX 
Watson, of Aberdeenshire. As a yearling he was imported to 
the Trout Creek herd of W. D. Fiatt, Hamilton, Ontario. His 
sire was the good Scotch bull Cap-a-Pie 106717, and his dam 
was Roan Bessie by Sittyton Sort. After a very mild showyard 
career he was sold in Mr. Fiart’s November sale in 1901, at 
the Union Stock Yards, for $5,100 to Mr. Greorce E. Warp, 
Hawarden, Iowa, to replace St. Valentine. At that time this 
established the record price for Scotch bulls. Here he had but 
little opportunity as a sire, but was shown in some of the Mis- 
souri Valley exhibitions. His later years were spent in the 
herd of M. E. Jones & Son, Williamsville, Il]., where he left a 
type imprint noticeable even to this day. Lord Banff was a 
bull of magnificent symmetry and his high valuation did much 
to elicit confidence in Scotch bloodlines during the increasing 
agricultural values at the first of the 20th century.
