Pure Bred Red Poll Cattle
One of the finest displays in pure
bred cattle was that of j. W. Salter
& Sons of Unity, Wis. j. w. Salter
has been known for over a quarter of
a century as one of the most pro-
stock raisers in the western
part of the county. He early realized
the advantages of stock raising in
ounty and thirty years ago
at Unity, he started his herd of Red
Polls, and now has one of the finest
lot of pure bred Red Polls in Wiscon-
sin, and farm of $50 acres. In fact.
when a lover of the breed is looking
after choice animal, he goes to Unity
to see Mr.. Salter. Mr.. Salter, as his
herd increased, took into partnership,
his sons, Arthur and Ted, who have
also become like their father, experts
In the knowledge of good cattle and es-
pecially authority on Red Polls. They
had II head of the finest Red Poll
stock, ever on exhibition in Wisconsin,
on which they took eleven 1st prem
iums and one second-the latter on a
heifer calf, under six months. Their
big bull, "Powhatton," 28077, weight,
23OO pounds, was the heaviest and
finest bull on the grounds, and he at
tracted much attention. During the
afternoons it was difficult to get
look at the animal, because of the
crowds. They had two age cows,
which had the A. r. o. milk records
AIS pounds of butter fat in one year.
They had yearling bull from the
noted Jean Duluth. His three near
est dams have a record of over 500 in
butter fat.
The Red Polls are a cross of two
distinct types, the Norfolks and Suf-
folks, originating in England and are
noted for both beef and milk.
The herd was in charge of Ted Sal
ter, who was so agreeable and ac-
in explaining the good
points of his pure breds that a
good sized interest was started in the
cattle, which will grow from now on.
Salter & Son5 will go to the Marsh
field fair this week with their herd
and will also take in the fair at Chip
LNoll
Salter herd expect that it will carry
off firsts at those fairs. Certainly
the Salters are doing great work in
the dairy interests of Mar
athon county.
