highly s~ervieeable breed that is more
widely known for their show ring and
breeding achievements. and Mr.. Arm
old's purchases comprises some Of the
best of this herd. Mr.. Blackwell sold
him the young bull with much re.ue-
lance.
The families represented in this
young group are among the most
popular and noted of the breed, the
sires haveing produced some eele-
brated animals. Mr.. Blackwell says
the bull he sold Mr.. Arnold is un-
questionably one of the best bred An
gus in Missouri and the making of a
great herd and show bull.
When asked about his purchase,
Mr.. Arnold said: my idea is to
start a herd of cattle that will meet
the requirements that are needed in
this section. | have always favored
the black cattle, however, ] did not
start my herd until had satisfied my
self thoroughly they were the best.
OF course, l only bought a few to
start with, but | bought the best l
could find. | would rather have n
really good one than q pasture full
of inferior stock. | think the young
sters that | bought viii lay a founda-
ton Of Angus in this county that
win do much good to the cattle
breeders for years to come, They are
richly bred and good enough to find
homes in the best herds Of Amer
ica."
