ANOAKIA BREEDING FARM 99 



PRESS COMMENT 



Referring to the twenty-one Walker daughters just enumerated, and four- 

 teen other heifers received in the herd purchased from A. W. Morris & Sons 

 Corporation, the "Live Stock and Dairy Journal," of Sacramento, California, 

 under the caption, "A Great Live Stock Transaction," says, in their issue of 

 June, 1916: 



"What is without question of doubt the most important single deal in regis- 

 tered animals on the Pacific Coast was consummated in May, when Anita M. Bald- 

 win, owner of Santa Anita Rancho, Los Angeles County, bought from A. W. Morris 

 & Sons Corporation, Woodland, California, the great Holstein herd sire, PRINCE 

 GELSCHE WALKER, along with twenty-one of his daughters, and fourteen other 

 splendidly bred heifers. 



"The addition of this group gives Santa Anita Rancho the largest herd of yearly 

 record cows, and daughters of yearly record cows, to be found in any single herd in 

 the West, outside of the Morris herd; and also gives the herd a very large group of cows 

 and heifers with seven-day records up to over thirty-four pounds of butter." 



LARGEST SALE MADE IN AMERICA 



From the "Holstein-Friesian World," June 10, 1916, we quote the following: 



"Perhaps the largest individual sale ever made by an individual breeder of 

 Holstein cattle in America is that recently consummated by A. W. Morris & Sons 

 Corporation, of Woodland, California, by which $45,000.00 worth of their choicest 

 stock was sold to Anita M. Baldwin, of Santa Anita Rancho. The herd is headed by 

 the noted bull, PRINCE GELSCHE WALKER, and a number of his daughters 

 were also included in the sale. 



"PRINCE GELSCHE WALKER has forged to the front in the last year perhaps 

 faster than any other bull in the West, and the records made by his daughters com- 

 pare very favorably with any bull of the breed."
