of prize winners clear down the line and
they are all especially prepared for the
sale, 50 that people who do not want to
buy cattle will have the pleasure of see
ing some Of the prettiest cattle ever rails
ed in any country.
The following announcement by the
breeders of these cattle might with profit
be considered by farmers and stock rails
ers generally:
The conSignments have been selected
from the respective herds with special
fn ftr1n nf
them old enough to breed are guaranteed
to be breeders, and most of the females
are bred to such well known Scotch bulls
as Gallant knight. Imp. Aylesbury Duke,
Airdrie Viscount. Oakland and Lord This
tie. Cows with calf by side or showing
calf are considered breeders.
These cattle have made money for
their present owners and we confidently
predict they will do so for the purchaser,
always remembering that Intelligent care
and mating are requisite.
'On account of the present depression
in cattle values the consignors expect
only ordinary prices. 1t is under present
conditions, however. that too many of us
pave the way for further losses when cat
tie become high. 1t is right here that
the quality of the bull used plays so inn
portant part, no matter whether itbe
in the steer business or the breeding of
pedigreed stock.
1T must be remembered that the cross
of an undesirable bull on our herds can
not be eradicated except by years of fu-
ture care.
Market toppers are the result OF using
the best sires. Market toppers are the
money makers. So let us not use the
scrub or inferior herd bulls for a small
money consideration and thus undermine
the whole structure of our breeding oper-
alton. 1t does not pay in dollars and
cents
