The Beau Donald family descends from Beau Donald 58996, 

 referred to above. He was sired by Beau Brummel 5 18 17, a son 

 of Don Carlos 33734, by Anxiety 4th. Donna 33035, the dam- 

 of Beau Donald, was out of Dowager 6th 6932, the mother of 

 Don Carlos. It can thus be seen that on both sire's and dam's side 

 the Beau Donald family is of Anxiety breeding and so might be 

 regarded as a subfamily. Beau Donald was bred by Gudgell and 

 Simpson of Missouri in 1893. He was bought as a calf by 

 H. B. Watts of Missouri, who sold him in 1897 to W. H. Curtice 

 of Kentucky, in whose herd he established the reputation of this 

 family. In the hands of Mr. Curtice, Beau Donald sired a large 

 number of remarkably good cattle, including some notable sires, 

 especially Beau Donald 3d 86140 (the sire of Disturber 139989 

 and grandsire of Repeater 289598) and Prince Rupert 79539 

 (the sire of Prince Rupert 8th 142 701, noted as a show bull 

 and sire). This is one of the most popular Hereford families. 



The Corrector family derives its title from the bull Corrector 

 48976, calved in 1891 andbred by T. F. B. Sotham of Missouri. 

 Corrector was sired by imported Harold 21 141, his breeding 

 extending back to the famous Horace, while Regulus was sire of 

 Harold's dam. Coral 13526, the dam of Corrector, was a great 

 breeding as well as show cow. During the twelve years of his 

 life Corrector sired many sons and daughters, among which were 

 the famous prize winners Benefice 78825, Benita 58542, Sir 

 Bredwell 63685 (that sold for $5000), and Thickset 68785 (that 

 sold for ^5100). From 1894 to 1903 inclusive 104 Corrector 

 bulls sold for $45,520 and 85 females for ^32,920. Many of 

 the cattle of Corrector breeding found their way to the range 

 herds of the Far West, where they were absorbed, the family 

 line largely disappearing. 



The Disturber family is named from the bull Disturber 

 139989, a son of Beau Donald 3d 86140, he by Beau 

 Donald and out of Columbia 76'/yg, a daughter of Columbus 

 51875. This family combines the blood of Beau Donald on the 

 sire's side and runs back to Garfield 7015, four generations on 

 the dam's side. Disturber was bred by Jesse Adams in 1901 

 and bought by John Letham for S. L. Brock of Wisconsin, in 

 whose herd he remained until 191 1, when he was bought by
