win Raise Herfords


will raise high grade Herford cattle.
Cows will be shipped in in the spring,
along with some steers and a number
OF good quality registered bulls will
also be purchased Tie Herford IS
more hardy and thrifty and mature
more rapidly than any other breed,
the range manager said.
/ Last, but not least, the Herford
cattle are always in demand on the
markets and are rapidly sold We
hope we can install into the minds
upper peninsula farmers the idea
that IL does not cost so much TO feed
good critter during the winter as a
poor one. Their market value is
twice az great and they are better
advertisement for the upper penin-

People in all parts OF the upper pc
ninsula will be interested in the de-
the first real SHRDS HRDSHRD HR
velopment OF the Triangle ranch, the
first real. dyed-in-the-wool western
cow ranch in Cloyerland. The land
on which IL is located is owned by
the Rosebush Ranch company, OF APP
pleton, Wisconsin. The company
plans to establish more than one
ranch. The present one consists OF
about 5000 acres and is known as
Triangle Ranch No. l.

western range country and has
grown up with the business. He
knows every angle OF the ranching
game, from pasture to stock yard,
and his company has implicit faith
in his ability to make real success

Mr.. Schultz has picked real west
