PROMINENT AUDUBON COUNTY
HEREFORD BREEDERS TO
SELL BIG HERDS

the best posted men in he United
States has the following5..s1 say with
reference to the Masters herd:
Among the several gtTtt families
of Hereford cattle none f(ave stood
the test of time better Il n the Dis
turbers, and the fortheoiIing offer
ing of NJ. |. Masterson & Son on May
26th probably presents the strongest
array of this particular strain that
has been listed for public auction
since the famous dispersion sale of
Cyrus Tow a number of years ago.
In looking over this offering recent
ly | was particularly impressed
turber Jr. They secured this great
bull in the Tow dispersion at the
then long price OF $500, but this
bull has certainly proven great
sire in their herd. In this sale they
are selling several sons of this SPLEEN
did bull, and they are bulls that
should go out and head good herds.
For great many years 1t has been
my privilege to see great many
.Disturber bulls throughout the CEN
trail west. and without single ex-
ception they have been good sires.
There are several bulls in this sale
that predict will make Just as good
sires as many of the more noted
bulls of this strain that have been
heading many of the leading herds
throughout this country. There
are also some very promising heif-
ers by this great bull in this sale
and they are of the same type that
has heretofore made this strain fam
Gus wherever good cattle are known.
You will find AS or so head in this
sale that are sired by or bred to Dis
turber Jr. To top 1t OFF they are al
so selling some very choice Fairfaxes
and Beau Mischiefs. and many Of
these are bred to Disturber Jr. II
| is not only the best offering that the
Mastersons have ever catalogued for
| a public auction, but II Is one of the
| greatest offerings of the year. We
certainly feel like encouraging those
who are looking for good cattle to
! attend their sale, because we know
they will be pleased with their Offer
| ing"
man who is well posted on
Hereford cattle has written the fol-
lowing concerning the Masterson
herd:
''The sale of Masterson & Son
at Audubon on May 26th promises
to be the greatest lot OF Disturber
bred Herefords that will be sold in
any sale this year. At the head of
the Masterson herd stands that cele-
brated bull, Disturber, Jr., that sold
in the dispersion sale of Cyrus Tow
for $9,100. Much OF this great
oNP
bull. There will be $50 head of
cows and heifers in the sale and
they are nearly all sired by or bred
to him. You will. therefore, see
that II is a Distruber-bred lot of
Herefords-the strongest array of
this particular strain Of Herefords
since the famous dispersion sale of
G. A. Tow a number OF years ago.
They are listing seven head of SPLEEN
did young bulls and six of these are
sons OF Distruber Jr., and they are
good enough to head good herds.
One of these is Woodrow Disturber,
out of Junior Lass by Beau Perfect
Jr. He has the makings Of mighty
promising herd bull. Dudley Dis
turber is out of dam by Dudley B.,
by the grand champion Dudley, and
he is an especially thick bull. Then
there is Liberty Disturber, Folly
Disturber, Pride Disturber. all by
Disturber Jr., and every one a good
one, and then there Is Kennally
Fairfax by the great Frank Fox bull,
Anxiety Fairfax. There are six
splendid daughters of Disturber Jr.
in the sale and they are mighty
choice heifers. Then there are six
by Disturber's Last, eight by Dis
mora's Pride, two by Dismora 5th,
six granddaughters Of the mighty
Beau Mischief, three daughters of
Repeater, while others are sired by
Royal Fairfax, Mark Fairfax, Prince
Perfection, Repeated SD and other
well known sires. Another good
heifer is Miss Repeater 10th, a
Wonderfully nice droop-horned heif-
er, and she is well along in calf to
Disturber Jr. Perfect Lady by Ad-
vertiser 18th, and out of an Aero
she is bred and safe to Disturber
Jr. Laurel Miss I'd by Don Per-
feet 4th sells with bull calf at foot.
The Disturber Jr. heifers we will
not attempt description, as they are
about the best things in the heifer
line that have ever left the Master
son herd. IL you are on the market
for a good herd bull proposition, or
you want some Disturber females.
We will say by all means attend the
Masterson sale"
The johnson Sale
August Johnson is perhaps the
best known pure bred Hereford
breeder in this part of the state of
Iowa. He has been in the game a |
long time and has attended practical |
ly all of the big sales. He has a
wide acquaintance among breeders |
and all of the big ones have prom !
ised to be at his sale. He has a |
herd this year and will |
no doubt get some fancy prices for |
his top-notchers.
However, Mr.. Johnson says he has |
a lot of good individuals who will |
be sold at figure that any farmer
can buy and he urges Audubon coun-
ty breeders to attend his sale. A
well known breeder has written the |
following concerning his big offer
ing:
ION May 25th ]. A. Johnson OF |
Iowa, will hold his annu-
al spring sale OF Hereford cattle and |
