The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1917-08-31

Shorthorn III 1913 1913 81;
The foregoing sales of carload lot,
at auction shows that during a period
of 10 years the Aberdeen-Angus have
made an average of SO cents per cwt
more than the Herefords and 81 cents
more than the Shorthorns. These fig
ures obtained from such a practical
source and the following analyses are
significant:
Out of a total of 446 awards Aber.
deen-Angus won 40 firsts, As seconds
and 50 thirds; Herefords, 80 flrsts, 6S
seconds and 40 thirds; Shorthorns, %
firsts, 20 seconds and A thirds; Gallo
ways, l first, seconds and thirds
Mixed 5 firsts, seconds and 3 thirds.
The interesting feature of the Fat
Carload Lot Competition is to learn
how many prizes each breed won
where its rivals were not represented.
We find that Aberdeen-Angus won s
firsts, 5 seconds and thirds where no
Herefords, Shorthorns ETC., were
shown. The Shorthorns won 10 firsts,
8 seconds and thirds where no Aber-
| deen-Angus were shown. Herefords
won 70 firsts, 81 seconds and 30 thirds
where Aberdeen-Angus were absent.
By making the proper deductions from
the actual awards and only taking into
consideration the classes in which
Aberdeen-Angus competed with Here
fords or Shorthorns or both or other
breeds, we find that the Aberdeen
Angus won 40 tlrsts, AZ seconds and 80
thirds; Herefords, p firsts, Is seconds
and Is thirds; Shorthorns, 8 flrsts, IL
seconds and 10 thirds.
While deductions from the above
facts show clearly that Aberdeen An
bus is superior, as a climax it is only
necessary to add that out of Is pos
slble Grand Championships offered for
best carload Aberdeen-Angus have
won u times. Herefords twice and
Shorthorns once.
Grand Champion Carcass Awards.
A review of the carcass competition
of the past IS International Live Stock
Expeditions reveals the fact that Aber-
deen-Angus cattle and their grades
have won "a prizes out Of a possible
142. This is 80 per cent of all money
prizes offered. AberGeen-Angus have
also won Il out of the 10 possible
Grand Championships for dressed car
cases.

A complete analysis of tabulated
list of awards of the single steer or
heifer competition reveals veF for
chilly the substantial, steady growth
the Aberdeen-Angus breed has made
since the inception of the International
Live Stock Exposition. A careful re-
view of the awards in the classes in
which single animals of all breeds
competed should prove very interest
ing to admirers of Aberdeen-Angus, be-
cause it shows very clearly that while
the Shorthorn and Hereford breeds
were conspicuous by their winnings
the first few years of the Show, 1t has
become apparent during recent years
that the Aberdeen-Angus bullocks have
gained prizes in overwhelming num-
bers over the Hereford and Shorthorn.
