A Half Century of Breeding 
T he recent announcements of the 
coming dispersals of the Holstein 
herds of Ward and Ralph Stevens, to 
be held jointly in the Syracuse Sale 
Pavilion, mark the beginning of the 
final chapter of an interesting story of 
Holstein development, covering a pe¬ 
riod of nearly half a century—the story 
of the building up of the Stevens herds. 
In 1876, one of the Holstein pioneers 
of the country, Henry Stevens, estab¬ 
lished the Brookside herd on his farm 
at Lacona, N. Y. By careful attention 
to selection of foundation stock and 
through the use of high-class herd 
sires, Brookside Herd rapidly became 
one of the best-known herds in the 
country. When, in 1894, the system of 
official testing was first established, 
the Stevens herd, which had been fa¬ 
mous for its unofficial records, imme¬ 
diately took the lead, being the first 
herd aside from the Michigan State 
College, to make an official test. The 
first association prize list, published in 
1894, shows that sixteen, of the twenty- 
seven prizes offered went to the herd 
of Henry Stevens & Sons. 
Famous among the foundation cows 
in the herd was De Kol 2d, the first 
26-pound cow. She was the foundation 
cow of one of the greatest families of 
the breed. Her blood had been widely 
scattered through every State in the 
Union, and her influence had been ex¬ 
erted to a profound degree everywhere. 
Her stable companion, Netherland 
Hengerveld, was the next cow to make 
26 pounds, and held the world’s record 
for a number of years, while a bull 
combining the blood of these two, De 
Kol 2d’s Butter Boy 3d, was, until his 
death, the leading herd sire. Belle 
Korndyke and her famous son, Pontiac 
Korndyke; Helena Burke and her son, 
Dq Kol Burke; Magadora and her son, 
Hengerveld De Kol, and others of the 
greatest animals of that day, were all 
members of this herd. 
Noted Winners in the Show Ring 
Among the noted show ring winners 
developed at Brookside might be men¬ 
tioned Aaggie Grace 2d’s P'ietertje, 
famous also as the first cow in the East 
to produce over 100 pounds milk in a 
day on official test; Soldene 2d’s Neth¬ 
erland, and his even more famous son, 
Soldene Clothilde Artis, who was unde¬ 
feated at many of the largest shows of 
the East and Middlewest; and, in later 
years, Jessie Veeman, A., maternal 
granddam of Sir Veeman Hengerveld, 
who was sweepstakes cow at the New 
York State Fair and wherever shown. 
Early in the 20th century the herd 
was divided, a third of the herd re¬ 
maining on the home farm to be oper¬ 
ated by Mr. Stevens, Sr., and his 
youngest son, Floyd, who carried on 
the breeding operations for a number 
of years, the other two-thirds going to 
Ward and Ralph Stevens, to be op¬ 
erated under the name of the Stevens 
Bros. Co. In the Stevens Bros, herd 
were developed King of the Pontiacs 
and practically all of his A. R. 0. 
daughters. 
Partnership Dissolved 
Some five years ago, the Stevens 
Bros, herd was dispersed to dissolve 
the partnership, the cream of the com¬ 
bined herd going to establish a founda¬ 
tion of two separate herds. The old 
family name of Brookside was retained 
by Ralph Stevens. Ward Stevens 
adopted Wandaga as his herd name. 
To head the new Brookside herd, Ralph 
Stevens selected Sir Pontiac Waldorf 
Pietje, a son of the former Canad¬ 
ian champion. Lady Waldorf Pietje. 
When his first daughters arrived, they 
were found to he a most uniformly 
promising lot. Upon freshening, these 
daughters proved to have the desired 
combination of production and indi¬ 
viduality. 
To mate with the Waldorf daughters, 
Mr. Stevens selected a maternal brother 
to May Echo Sylvia, whose name he 
changed to Radium. The dam of 
Radium is May Echo Verbelle, who at 
eight years old milked 700 pounds in 
a week on official test He has trans¬ 
mitted much of his own individuality to 
his offspring, of which there are now 29 
daughters and six sons in the Brook¬ 
side Herd. 
The Wandaga herd has been under 
federal supervision for a number of 
years. Both herds will be sold uiider 
a 60-day retest guarantee against 
tuberculosis.
