VALLEY HAS
CHAMP ION COW
What Wiona Jennie, 2nd Of
The Bradshaw Herd Has
Accomplished Officially

When the AIhalnpra IIolstein Fri
sian herd produced aged cows that
gave more than one hundred pounds
of milk daily that exceeded in guam
tity the famous worlds champion, the
public was amazed.
1t now seems that wonders will
never cease. Winana Jennie End Of
the Arizona IIolstein- Tristan Farm
owned by j. r. Bradshaw in her two
Year old form has just completed "a
seven day test in which she gave 519la
pounds of milk containing over q
pounds of butter. The remarkable
feature Of the phenomenal feat of this
unsurpassed heifer is the fact that
she ranks second in the junior two
ycar-old class and is the worlds
champion twenty-five months old COW.
1t will be seen that she is in every
sense the junior two-year-old cham
pion as she surpasses all other cows
of her age in the United States
This easily brings to the Bradshaw
herd a national reputation and proves
conclusively the superiority Of the
Salt River Valley as a dairy country.
