. .OLONEL GEORGE A. CUE. the
~ veteran live stock auctioneer

and breeder of Holstein cattle,
was recently interviewed at his farm
near Ridgefield, Wash. He receives
his callers in his library, which is a
room full Of Holstein literature. The
book shelves ben beneath the load
of registration record books, and
every pigeon hole contains pedigrees,
pictures and catalogs. When a Ques-
ton is asked the answer comes from
memory or the book case. Colonel
Cue never says, II don't know"
when asked about Holstein animal.
Of great interest at present at the
Cue farm is the coming International
Stock Show and Holstein Sale at the
Union Stock Yards at Portland, in
December. Breeders of reputation in
the West are consigning to this sale
men who stand back Of every ami
NAL they sell. In order to make this
annual sale greater sale every
year, these breeders are offering ami
mails bred in the purple, including
more high-class bulls than were ever
offered at a public auction before
anywhere.
Colonel Cue is always a booster
for Western cattle. and he has visit
ed the herds that these consignments
are to come from. making sure that
nothing but the best herds are to
be represented. He says that NO
breeder or dairyman needs to send
east for pure-bred sires. for he can
be better satisfied in the West.
Western herds have often been in
jured by the importation of poor or
diseased stock from distance. Sew
eral cases of contamination are
traceable to dealing with unknown
and INSCRIPTIONS cattle brokers.
The Western breeder has to stand or
fall by the quality of the stock he
sells. There will be $50 Of the best
Holsteins ever offered for sale, and
every heifer calf dropped by one of
these bred cows will be worth more
than will be paid for the cow in this
sale. With SO many animals in the
sale there is sure to be lot of bar
gains picked up.
