The Wichita daily eagle., 1891-10-03

The entire winter on prairie hay and none
of them tasted grain of corn for over ;
year. Mr.. Ferrell did not enter them anC
his only object in bringing them here was
to keep the breed before the people The
older cows in the herd were imported from
Holland by George E. Brown of Aurora
! Ills. Some of them weigh over 1,60C
pounds and would undoubtedly weigt
more were it not for the fact that they
havn't been stabbed but on the contrary
have been running at large like common
cattle. For combined milk and beef cat
tie Mr.. Ferrell says they have no superior
and thinks the farmers should give more
attention to raising that particular breed.
