By George Kennedy

A new type of beef cattle is
grazing the meadows of Mont
gomery County ir the neighbor-
hood of Sugar Loaf Mountain.
They are mahogany-colored,
diversified animals that give
promise of big steaks and roasts.
They are of the new Santa Ger
trudis breed, recently introduced
into the county by Mr.. and Mrs.
Garvin E.. Tankersley.
The Tankersleys have just pur-
chased three farms, totaling 1900
Iacres, for their Al-Marah Ranch,
which will be the biggest beef
raising operation in this area.
Mrs. Tankersley is a niece of Col.
Robert r. Mccormick of the Chi
cago Tribune and, for a time, was
publisher of his Washington
Times Herald.
The Santa Gertrudis cattle, the
first distinctive breed of beef cat
tie developed in the United States,
are the product of the great King
Ranch in Texas 100000 acres)
They are a cross-breed, five
eighths Shorthorn and three
eighths Brahman. The latter
breed is the sacred cattle Of India.
The new animal has bit of the
hump left. It has large horns,
wide shoulders and a deep chest.
1t can be fattened up to 2,400
pounds.
The Tankersleys gave a guided
tour of their new holdings the
other day, starting from their
home on River road in Potomac,
Mo They will continue to live
there It is the site of their AL
Marah Arabian Horse Farm. Mrs.
Tankersley moved her Arabian
stud there two years ago from
Peru Ill
First Imported in 1906.
On the way to the first farm.
Mrs. Tankersley told about the
new breed. The first important
of the Brahmans was
in 1906, when A. P. Borden
brought so of them from India to
his Texas ranch. The new breed
was first developed on the King
Ranch in 1920.
The Brahman, she explained,
sweats like a horse, something
other cattle do not do. This al

Qualities for All Grades.
"As you can understand" sale
Mrs. Tankersley, there is q
vested interest in the older types
of beef cattle. These larger cattle
were attacked as producing a beef
of inferior flavor and texture. But
the Klebergs arranged for their
entire production to go to Swift
& Co. The beef qualities for all
the United States grades, prime,
choice, good. etc. The Klebergs
give big steak roasts at which
they challenge the experts to tell
a Santa Gertrudis steak from one
cut from a Hereford or Aberdeen
Angus"
In recent years, the Klebergs
have been selling Santa Gertrudis
bulls. The Tankersleys success
fully bid $4,000 for Red Gold at
the second annual sale of the
breed in February, the highest
price ever paid for a Santa Ger
trudis. They purchased Copper,
a second bull, for $4,000.
The Klebergs do not sell brood
cows. Mrs. Tankersley explained
that their purpose is not to re-
tain a monopoly on the breed, but
because their program is to stock
heir entire range with this eff
;ient beef producer-a program
that will take about 20 years
more.
Other cattlemen have bred

eys have purchased a herd of 30l
