Three Blount county angus breed
ers, Messrs. John Hitch, Henry Dun
can and S. N. Yearout attended dis
persiOn sale of E. l.. Hampton at
Nashville Friday, November 9th.
This sale marked the dispersion of
one of the best herds of angus cat
tie in the South, and some of the
best individuals of the herd were
purchased by Blount county breeders.
Mr.. John Hitch purchased twelve
cows and heifers, representatives of
the Barbara, Blackbird, Queen
Mother, and Pride families. The
top of his purchase was Blackbird
of Cloverleaf l8th--one of the best
Blackbird cows of the breed. She
was the top COW in G. j. Martins
dispersion sale in Iowa a few years
ago, and is the dam of Bellatum,
Chief Herd Bull of J. S. Caldwell,
Chillicothe, Ohio. She is also the
dam of Black Ballatu, Hampton's
chief herd bull which brought $500
at this sale. The calves of this bull
were much sought after in this sale
and long prices were paid for them.
Mr.. Hitch was very fortunate to get
this cow for $3.50. He also bought
several other young cows in calf to
the bull Black Bellatum.
Mr. s. N. Yearout was one of the
strongest bidders at the sale. He
$5O50, and finally succeeded in
bird 134th, which was sold for
for $5O5O, and finally succeeded in
securing Blackcap Lady 5th, ready
to drop calf, for $4,000. He was Of
fered $1,000 for the calf, if it should
be heifer, without the bidder even
seeing the calf, but Mr.. Yearout re-
fused the offer, and the little heifer
appeared before the cows were ship
ped to Blount county. Mr.. 4earout
also purchased Margaret Lass, d
Queen Mother COW II years of age,
and sired by Golden Clean. 1t was
on account of her age that she was
bought for the small sum of 5000,
for she is one of the best producing
cows of the breed. She is the dam
of quite a few noted herd bulls now
in service in this country. Her sire,
Golden Clean, was grand Champion
at International Livestock, Sow, at
in 1906 and 1907, and was
later used by j. D. McGreger OF
Canada on the noted McGregor herd.
The cow, Margaret Lass, is dam of
Morton of Rosemere, used for sew
eral years by Mr., Hampton on his
herd
Mr.. H. R. Duncan bought Heath
erdale Blackbird End, 4th branch
sired by Irwin C. one of
the greatest bulls of the angus breed.
The sire of Irwin G.. is the noted bull
Enlate which was sold last year by
Escher and Ryan for the sum of
$4,000, the largest price ever paid
for a bull of the beef breeds
Heatherdale Blackbird End is also
we'll bred on her dams side, bu,
owing to the fact that she recently
lost twin calves, Mr.. Duncan got her
at the bargain price of $1375. There
are only few cows by the noted
Irwin c bull and Mr.. Duncan and
Blount county is fortunate in being
able to land one of them. Mr.. Dun
can also purchased Ida of Rosmeore,
End, daughter of the famous Oak
vile Quiet Lad. The dam of Ida of
Rosemore was sired by Glenfoil
Thickset End, which was three times
Grand Champion at Chicago Inter
national Ida of Rosemore is half
sister to Mr.. Duncan's herd bull,
knight of Rosemere End, is also half
sister to old Black D of Rosemore,
the great old herd bull of Mr.. John
Hitch, and is almost full sister to
Idlemore, the herd bull of J. |. Hug
gins, cambridge, Tenn. Mr.. Duncan
purchased this cow with bull calf at
foot, calf sired by Black Bellatuni.
He also bought two other cows, a
Heatherbloom and a Barbara, the
Heatherbloom was sired by Morning
Star End, and had heifer calft at
foot by Black Bellatum.
Blount county breeders evidently
were we'll known before the sale was
over. They purchased 18 head for
$4,000, or at an avrage of about
$725, and brought back some Of the
best idividuals and blood offered at
the sale.
