A Visit to the Riverside Hereford Ranch,
Chester, Utah.

Visit to the Riverside Hereford Ranch,
Chester, Utah. 49,.
l paid a delightful visit to the above
named ranch and was indeed gratiied to
find so large an investment of means in the
needed improvement of stock in this
county. Passing through among the well
kept stalls you are pleasantly introduced
blythe owner, Mr.. E. j. Conrad, to his Elk
cellencv Lord Usk, who prides himself on
his pedigree, and his American No. 80 97S,
and of his English No 1854, of his former
owner E. Lister, of Herefordshire, Eng
land, of his Nellboy and Dam Pearl, of
his direct descent of the noted bull Chance
through the noted ones Sir David and Sir
| Benjamin; at the age of six years he
weighs now 1900 pounds. This is the
same gentle animal that graced the fair
last year, 1855, and took the silver
medal as the best bull of any breed for
beef. l was then prepared for the
eXcellences in store. Continuing our
inspection we paused to admire fine COW
Sultana, whose American No. % 534 gives
her prominence in the list of competitors
She was bred by the Rev. A. Give. of
| Whitfield, Hereford, England, an importa-
ton of the Wyoming Hereford association
The stall of beautiful COW, Susan by
Hdne. AHeTICdH NO. 20, Gf4, also Dr6Q Dy Une
above named association. She has among
her ancestry Lord Wilton II, dam Beat
rice of Arkstone, England, Lord Wilton
II, is of Lord Wilton l, who realized at
public auction the enormous price of
$4,000
The next favorite COW awaiting our YER
dict was Selma, No. 80, go, her sire
The Deacon, The Deacon by The
Grove III, who is universally admitted
80 Naf hn hno 4 n,,n fn,,l -,
stop at the stall of Laura, No. 81, 976
Admitting her proportions, we are told she
has her sire Scotsman, by Champion
Rudolf, whom many consider the finest
son ever gotten of that great stock getter,
The Gil owe III. Leaving this compartment
of the large and extensive sheds and barns
I was shown the beautiful, clean-clt ''Show
and Sale herd,n being fed, fatted and
petted for the approaching fair in your
city, and by public auction to be distributed
among the patrons of improved stock
Certainly stock raisers can i'll afford to let
this unparalleled chance go by, nor. be in
too great haste to buy, for perhaps a delay
would be advantageous. A visit to this
ranch or correspondence would augment a
desire to possess a genuine Hereford.
Among his show herd noted five bulls and
one heifer. They seemed the PERFECTION of
breed, culture and care, discriminating for
This investment Of some thousands of
dollars should be of vast results, bene-
ficially to all parties desiring the best in
its peculiar line. You are painfully i'm
pressed with the need of improved stock
when you see the "town herd'' in some of
our cities, and when such men as the Con-
RAIDS will thus invest we should not be slow
to adopt means and measures to improve.
1 became enthusiastic over this visit to
the ranch and wondered not that some an.
clients desired calf. l desired one of the
five young bulls. If men are called blessed
who in this arid land plant trees and thus
make grateful shade is he less bene-
factor who give the beautiful in bovines
In this county, once of pasture and range9
we are ''pastured out" one or two, and they
of the best are all we can afford to keep.
Like our farms, small and well titled will
be the cry; so with our stock, the best is
the cheapest. DC.
