FAMOUS MOUNDALE FARM
SHORTHORN TO BE SOLD
AT SALES PAVILION.
FIRST ANNUAL SALE.
PETER MCKAY, OWNER. WOULD
DISPOSE OF PART OF BIG
DROVE OF PUREBREDS.

One of the big events for this COM
munity for January is the first annual
sale of Shorthorns by Peter Mckay,
proprietor of Moundale Farm at Del
hi-the farm that grows a wonderful
crop of these splendid Shorthorns each
year. Mr. Mckay and his. sons are
now caring for drove of hundred
head and will dispose of about sixty OF
these animals. While Mr.. Mckay has
become well known all over the North
west as a breeder of wonderful Short
horns, and has sold many high priced
animals at private sale, this is his
| first public sale and it is attracting
great attention from stockmen every
! where.
The offering consists of forty lots;
four bulls and thirty six cows twelv
of which will be sold with calves at
foot. This will make a splendid of
fering and will make an afternoon OF
great activity for the auctioneers, H.
o. Teller and Hi Riley. These two
gentlemen have visited Redwood
Falls upon several occasions, ore of
these being the Gold Holstein sale
held some time ago. Anyone who
attended that sale and watched the
work of these two gentlemen, es-
pecially of the Authenticated and
! frisky "Hiram" will attend the Janu-
ary 2 sale just for the fun of watch
ing them again.
The Mckay cattle are of world re
nowned strains including the famous
/ Scotch lines which make for the rugg-
ed, growthy types, which places the
Shorthorn among the best, if not the
best, of the approved breeds. In IT,
pedigrees are found such names as
Duchess of Gloster, Young Mary, the
Orange Blossoms, and the Pansy's,
offering good selection of both Am
erican and Scotch families. The of
fering includes four young bulls one
of them Won SAINT, showing such pedi-
gree and such signs of excellent breed
ing as will make him one of the most
attractive animals at the sale. "A
catalogue has been compiled, showing
all the interesting facts about these
Eanimals and copy of it may be Sc
cured by writing Mr.. Mckay at Delhi.
! Mr.. Mckay has been among the
most ardent supporters of the stock
sales pavilion project and spent much
time and energy in interesting other
farmers of the county in this PROPOSE
ton. 1t is peculiarly fitting, therefore,
that one of the first of the
big stock sales to be held in the pavil
ioln is his sale of Shorthorns. The
herd is annually ono of the big at
traction at the Redwood County fair
and many of the animals sold will b
remembered as having been exhibited
at the recent fairs. One of the n
attention holding animals ever shown
at the county fairs is Stamps Armi-
ger, the present sire of the Mckay herd
who was displayed last September.
Several of the cows to BE- sold q ),
bred to this sire.
! The sale will begin at one thirty
o'clock in the afternoon. Mr. Mckay
lis supplying transportation from tn
city to the fair grounds for visitors
from distance who have no means
of conveyance. Business MN and
! their wives are cordially invited t,
this sale and no doubt many of them
will accept the invitation as this is q
history making event for this con
munity and also because the sale pr
misses much of interest to those at
tending whether they are stockmen,
business men, just men or women.
Given good day the Moundale Short
: horns are bound to have large an
dience at their first coming out par
