is not the fact that it broke all rec
ords of sales of pure bred beef cattle.
The real significance of this sale is
the powerful emphasis it placed up
on the value of good sire.
1t furnishes further an illustration
Of the extent to which constructive
breeding may be carried in single
generation by the adherence to a
strict policy of using nothing but the
best blood for foundation stock. The
character and financial standing Of
the men who stand sponsor for this
great breed in the United States are
worthy of note.
The crowd that gathered at the sale
March list came from every part of
the country and packed to overlooking
the new sale pavilion. Twelve States
were represented in the buying. The
liberal bidding of the Western and
Southwestern contingent Of this sale
was prominent feature of the sale,
yet it is worthy of note that ten head
Of these cattle went to neighbors of
the Harris's at an average of $1078.-
SO.
No higher compliment can be paid a
breeder than the patronage of his
neighbors, particularly in a sale of
this character where the competition
from the whole continent outside is
so keen.
An interesting feature of the sale
was the bidding in by Master Henry
Cummings, IL years old, of Repeater
10th at $2050.O0, and Miss Repeater
18th at 100000. The sale had to be
stopped until Master Henry was pro-
duced from the ringside and intro
duced to the audience.
There are many men who went to
the sale expecting to buy Repeater
