THE HEREFORD 



265 



The Anxiety family descends from the imported bull Anxiety 

 2238, bred by T. J. Carwardine and imported by C. B. Culberson 

 of Illinois in 1879. Anxiety was sired by Longhorns 2239, a very 

 successful sire, and out of Helena 2240, one of the best show 

 cows of her time. Anxiety was a very superior, thick, smooth 

 bull of much quality, and during a short life in America he sired 

 a number of most excellent animals, including Anxiety 3d 4466 



Fig. 109. Repeater 2S9598, one of the greatest of twentieth-century Hereford 



sires, the descendants of which have been in great favor. A grand champion in 



his day and a sire of grand champions. Owned by Overton Harris, Harris, 



Missouri. From photograph by courtesy of Mr. Harris 



and Anxiety 4th 9904. These two proved remarkable sires. 

 Anxiety 3d was a great heifer getter, and Anxiety 4th sired 

 notable bulls and cows, including Don Carlos 33734, Beau Real 

 IIOSS, and Anxiety Monarch 41216. Beau Donald 58996, one 

 of the more recent sires of note, was a grandson of Anxiety 4th 

 through Beau Brummel 5 18 17. Prime Lad 1089 11 and Dis- 

 turber 139989, famous as sires, were both direct descendants 

 from Anxiety 4th. It is doubtful if any family has had so potent 



an influence on the breed.^in^ recent years as has this.
