Angus steer, owned by Mr.. McGregor
of Brandon, Manitoba, carried on the
sweepstakes at the Chicago Live Stock
Show in 1912, it was considered to be.
a great victory for barley, oats and
grass versus corn. So that there
might be no doubt OF the superiority
OF barley feeding, Manitoba climate
and judgment in selecting the animal,
Mr.. Nc Gregor placed in competition
in 1918. another Aberdeen-Angus.4 q
halfbrother to the animal that twon#
last year. and secured q second VIC
tory in the second year. In other
classes he had excellent winnings, but
the big victory was the sweepstakes
for the best steer. This victory proved
that Manitoba-grown barley and oats
and prairie hay. had properties better
than any contained In corn. which In
the past has been looked upon a.
being superior to other grains In fat
tening and finishing qualities. Not
only this, but Glencarnock's victory
proves that the climate Of the prairie
provinces Of western Canada, In COM.
blnation with rich foods that are pos
sessed by that country, tends to make
cattle raising success at little cost. .3
