ANGARIA BREEDING FARM 



GENERAL INFORMATION 



THIS publication is issued for the purpose of outlining various features of 

 the live-stock industry as embodied in the activities and ideals of the 

 Santa Anita Rancho, and the Anoakia Breeding Farm, under the manage- 

 ment and ownership of Anita M. Baldwin, younger daughter of the late Elias 

 Jackson Baldwin. 



Several small cities now occupy portions of the original Baldwin tract, and 

 the Santa Anita Rancho of today contains about 3500 acres in the vicinity of, 

 and immediately surrounding, the old Baldwin homestead. The railroad station 

 and postofBce of Santa Anita — on the Santa Fe Railway — are within the boun- 

 dries of the ranch. Only five miles distant is the beautiful city of Pasadena — 

 the winter home of the American millionaire — while fourteen miles south by 

 west lies the city of Los Angeles, the metropolis of Southern California. 



Three railroads pass through the ranch — Southern Pacific, Santa Fe and 

 Pacific Electric^ — affording unequaled shipping facilities. Daily train service to 

 and from Los Angeles and Pasadena, via the Santa Fe, and hourly trolly service 

 on the Pacific Electric, provide easy access to the ranch. 



It can be conservatively said that there is not another fertile spot on the 

 Pacific Coast, nor in the great Southwest, more suitable or naturally adapted 

 for the raising of purebred live stock than this portion of Los Angeles County, 

 California, occupied by the Santa Anita Rancho and the Anoakia Breeding 

 Farm. Shaded by five thousand or more beautiful oaks, centuries old; nestled, 

 as it is, at the foot of the towering peaks of the Sierra Madre Mountains to the 

 east; cooled and nurtured by the sea breezes from the west and south, this 

 region, generously endowed by nature, yields forth almost gratuitous service to 

 every application of man's intellect. Here, where the elements and all the laws 

 of nature are in harmony with human endeavor, the greatest developments are 

 possible, and here it is that expert attention is devoted to raising Thoroughbred, 

 Arabian and Percheron horses, Mammoth Jacks and Jennets, Holstein-Friesian 

 cattle, Berkshire and Poland-China swine.
