CATALOGUE OF 
IMPROVED SHORT HORNED CATTLE, 
The entire herd of E. P. PRENTICE, to be Sold at Auc¬ 
tion, at Mount Hope, near Albany, on Wednesday , the 
2oth day of June, 1845, at 10 o’clock, A. ill, 
M R. PRENTICE takes leave to say, that if he could have made 
the sale sufficiently inviting, he would much have preferred to 
offer but about half this stock. Rut, to guard against the impression 
that the best have been selected, he begs to assure the public, that 
the entire herd shall bo sold without reservation ; except, as provi¬ 
ded by his published advertisement, in order to retain the blood of 
some highly valued families, which have been secured at great ex¬ 
pense and which could not be replaced, he will ask leave to bid, 
openly , on three or four individuals only , they first being designated. 
OCT 5 * The open numbers attached to the pedigrees, refer to Coate’s 
Herd Book. Those inclosed in parenthesis, to this Catalogue, and 
the letters to the progenitors, whose pedigrees are given in the Ap¬ 
pendix. 
Severai of the cows and heifers, not yet calved, will come in be¬ 
fore the sale, and at that time it will be made known when others 
are to do so, and by what bulls. 
The cattle may be inspected at any time previous to the sale, and 
any information relatmg to them will be most cheerfully given.
