SOME 0LD-TlME BIG CATTLE
One English OK, History Shows,
Weighed 1900 Pounds, Another
4,340 Pounds.

with all the modern improvement
in breeds of live stock it may be
doubted whether there is living today
steer or OK equal in size TO some of
the fat cattle of olden times.
In 1S45 there was disposed Of by
rattle at Pratt's Old London inn, in
Taunton, England. giant OK of the
Devon breed that stood 10 hands high
and weighed 3,700 pounds. But this
one was not in 1t with the Durham OK
which earned modest fortune for its
owner, John Day, and brought the now
famous Shorthorn cattle into high re-
pute little more than century ago.
A writer in the Mark Lane Express
described this extraordinary animal
as having weighed when two years old
$500 pounds, and when slaughtered
ut eight years old his carcass dressed
2,47S pounds, while his live weight at
that time was stated to have been
4,340 pounds. He girthed IL feet
inch just behind the shoulders. His
owner exhibited him six years through
England and Scotland, having a van
for his conveyance about the country.
1t was in 1907 that Days OK dislocated
his hip and had to be killed
Favorite, the sire of this bovine
wonder, was made famous by the pro
digious size and remarkably fine form
Of the steer. When Charles Colling of
Darlington. who is regarded as the
founder of the Shorthorn breed, sold
all his cattle at auction In 1910,
Comet, a siX-year-old bull by Favorite,
brought $1,000. and six cows by him,
some of them eleven years old. made
an average of $720, which was I'M
heard of in those days and for many
years afterward.
