The Hot Springs Herd of Short

IN June, 1888, by the importation
from Kentucky of 125 head of regis
tered animals. The herd was select.

reference to establishing at HALEY
bot Springs a permanent breeding
and dairy farm from which Idaho
and neighboring States and Terri.
torres could select the very best type
OF HoME-FRowN, ROBUST, PuRE-BRED
cattle with which to grade up native
herds.
No pains or expense were spared
to secure animals which would best

their fine milking qualities are daily
attested by some fifty superb milk
COWS composing the Hot Springs
Dairy.
Hot Springs Herd is now THOR
oUGHLY AccLIMATEn. Excepting the
milk COWS the herd has made its own
living on the hills near Haley during
the past winter. There is not an
overfed, pampered or sickly animal
in it. The increase, numbering some
sixty head, are largely of Idaho birth
and raising. 1t will be apparent to
any breeder that such a herd offers a
far better selection than any ship
ment fresh from the East. Its own
ers are in Idaho to stay. They have
reputation to make and propose
making it by selling only that which
will bear the closest inspection, and
