The Ideal Fanners Cow
The undersigned Dawson County Red Polled Breeders will
sell al the Sale Pavilion, at Xexinoion, Nebr., on
Head of Cattle
20 cows and heifers, 13 head of young bulls six months to two years old. Sonic are
from c'ows in the advanced registry, and some from cows that will be, if their present
record of an average of two lbs. per day continues and their record completed.
The records of the breed show them easily capable of producing from 400 to GOO lbs.
of butter fat. The highest record of any one cow, 31725 Jean Du Luth Beauty, is 891.5
pounds butter fat.
A mere look at most of tho offering in this sale will prove their ability in producing
a desirable type of feeders. The highest beef test record showed the breed capable of
producing well marbled steak, tho carcass dressing 73.72 per cent.
This offering will not bo -loaded with fat, but are handled in a practical fanner's
way, making them capable of converting roughage into beef and milk. If agriculture
is tho foundation of all pursuits, and without fertility the soil will soon become bar
ren, would not a practical fanner's cow that will give a good How of milk enough to
nurse two calves well, while you milk the other ,and yet produce beef of good quality
bo the cheapest way to maintain fertility? Has iiqt the Red Polls been bred along tlieso
lines longer and are they not more highly developed in dual purpose than any other
bred? Come and see. ,
Teddy, our foundation herd bull, had for his' sire Profector, a Chicago Interna
tional Champion, and his dam, Nina, had a record of G gallons of milk per day.
The year we sold Teddy's Best, that won 32 championships, Mr. Anthony bought
the Calf Lexington by Teddy and out of Bonnie, a'lG50 lb. cow, the greatest producer
, we ever owned. Lexington was the calf that made Mr. Hansen feel like Hopping pen
nies as to which one to take. Had Lexington been fitted and shown by Anthony like
Teddy's Best, Teddy's Best might have had to be. renamed. Since then the herd has
had at its head Red Knight by Happy Jack, and Chief Charmer 3397, a first prize Sen
ior calf at Nebraska State Fair, 1919, a son of Royal' Chartner and a grandson of the
iu. uiiurmur, uie gi.uiu cuaiupion ai tne unicago international 1919.

quote from
jowa, iNeurasica, anu uotn Kansas state Fairs." His dam, Ruperta, a champion in her
time, weighed over 1700 lbs., in how form, and was pronounced by different judges as
a most remarkable type of dual purpose cow. She was a great producer at the pail
She was the dam of several champions at the leading shows of America.
His sire, Dandy, was a champion at several statetfairs in 1912-13. Also his broth
er, Dixon, was grand champion bull at 190!) International at Chicago.
Several of his calves in this sale are show prospects and will be a pride to anv
