WINNER RETURNS MONDAY
WITH THOROUGHBRED
CATTLE FROM COAST

The Guernsey bulls bought re-
Gently in Washington by Frank
Winner of this city for the Idaho
County Bull Association arrived
in the county Monday and were
distributed to their respective
blocks.
They are the finest specimen
of dairy animals that have ever
been seen in the county and it
would do any dairy fancier good
to see these splendid bulls.
They range in age from ten to
fifteen months old, it being nee
essary to buy younger animals
than they expected, to get indi-
fidual breeding and heavy back
ing of butterfat production. Mr..
Gabby of the University of Ida
no, who assisted in selecting the
bulls said that they were as fine
q lot of individuals as it had
ever been his pleasure to view.
They are good enough that they
can we'll afford to limit their
service for the next few months
and give them an opportunity to
develop. Each animal is an out
standing representative of the
Guernsey breed and is backed by
the best of breeding and heavy
production.
Francesca's Leader of Hill
View Farm was placed in the
Cottonwood block. His dsm

butterfat on farm care. Fran

bulls have been we'll raised an(
are growthy type fellows ant

One hundred and twenty cow

four blocks and it is expected
that now the bulls are on th'

In addition to the importatio
