Brahma Cattle

Every stockman in the county who
is not acquainted with valuable points
of Brahnia cattle ought to make trip
to the II. l.. Kerr ranch near Cam
bria. Mr.. Kerr has half breeds, quar-
ter breeds and eighth breeds. IL is
interesting to note the strong pre-
dominating qualities of the Brahma
crossed with the Hereford, even
though these animals have but one
eighth Of the Brahma blood.
Sam Clark, who has an interest in
the cattle, tells us that the Brahma
breeds are much better rustlers than
the Herefords, that they grow much
faster and are freer from diseases
and pests than the other breeds found
on our ranges. These Brahma cattle
have much more life and activity than
the white face, but if handled right
they can be handled rs easily. Our
own opinion is that il we had more
of mixture Of the Brahma with our
white faces we would greatly improve
the rustling qualities Of our cattle.

ming to have quite an exhibit of these
cattle at the Luna county fair next
