see splendid vista before us. Idah
is rapidly coming into her own, an,
her many wonderful resources mani
fest themselves in tangible form.
Idahos achievements in the direc
tion of dairy herd building and pro-
duction of champion cows has, per-
haps, not been appreciated by many;
nor are all the evidences of this great
achievement to be found within its
borders. Idaho has brought up many
such animals that have gone out of
the state to make others famous.
| Matador Segis Walker is one Of the
truly famous Holstein sires of the
! world. He was raised just outside of
Boise by George V. Leighton and was
sold to the Carnation Farms. together
with the rest of the herd OF about 80
head. Here is a case where an entire
herd of registered cows of the highest
order was developed in Idaho and
transferred Observation-Disclosures loss
Washington's gain.
The sister of this bull is Segis Piet-
ertje Prospect, who has worlds rec
ord Of 1884 pounds of milk in S65
days
That these great animals are duly
priced by the Carnation people is
shown in their public statement to
this effect:
TT was not the fact that a son of
Matador was junior champion Of the
1917 National Dairy Show; not that
another son of Matador was junior
champion at the 1920 Wisconsin State
Fair, nor that another son of Matador
was Grand Champion at the 1920
Pacific International: nor that daugh-
ters of Matador took first place where
ever shown in 1919; nor that a great
of championships and first
premiums awarded In 1920 at shows
where Matador's get were shown were
Won by Matador-no single one of
hese facts made Matador a great bull. |
t Is these facts and many more of |
ike nature taken collectively that |
make Matador Segis Walker one of /
he most dependable transmitting sires
hat ever lived
