ODRTH OF JDLY
Prince It, tbe "king of the beef
breeds," is the champion Angus 'Still ol
the world.
Not in points only, but in price, does
this splendid animal earn his title ol
champion ot his kind, for -he lias
brought tho largest price ever paid for
an Angus bull. '
In Chlcaso;this animal changed own
ers at the Dexter park amphitheater
of the Union stockyards for the sum ot
$0,100. The sale was made in the auc
tion ring, which stamps Prince Ito
doubly a champion.
There was little or no excitement in
the ring until Prince Ito was put up

for exhibition and sale by his owner,
M. A. Judy of Willlamsport, Iud. The
mammoth creature seemed to realize
his Importance as the greatest feature
of a ring sale and threw up his broad,
full head, with his big ears laid straight
back, and looked proud. As the breed
ers said, "lie was every inch a priuce
of the blood."
So great an impression did tho cham
pion create that the bidding began at
almost $1,000 above the former ring
price for an Angus bull. The ring rec
ord for "market toppers" stood at $3,-
050. The bidding for Prince Ito becan
at ?4,000.
There were breeders at the sale from
all over the country, and the price was
quickly raised, $100 a voice.
WTien the amount of the bid reached
$0,000, only two bidders stood out, a
man from Louisville, KyH famous for
his cattle, and the new owner of Prince
Ito, B. It. Pierce of Creston, 111., who
finally won the champion for $9,100.
Prince Ito is an imported animal ot
the Aberdeen stock. lie was bred In
Scotland by Sir George Macpherson
Grant and was sired by the great
Erica Highland society champion Elt
ham, out of a Mulben Pride of Aber
deen dam that was sired by the famous
Justice.
Prince Ito was imported last season
by Mr. Judy after winning the chain
pionshlp of the Highland society at the
Royal show of Edinburgh.
No such Angus sire and show bull as
Prince Ito was ever before offered for
sale in this country. He is the purest
of bis breed.
Ob Foot nd In Curcaas.
It is evident that the production of a
beef animal that will win on foot and
in carcass competition is, tinder pres
ent standards of judging, a very tlitll
cult matter, says The National Stock
man and Farmer. The champion of
the late Chicago fat stock show was
an easy winner when alive. In the
opinion of every Judge of a beef ani
mal he outclassed his competitors.
Yet when his carcass wes compared
with theirs it did not get a place. It
was neither first, second, third nor
commended. And, further, when the
carcasses of all the prize winners were
compared with a load of well finished
cattle that won no premiums on foot,
which. In fact, were not ''good" enough
to show, the latter were declared by
the judges to be the better.
Such facts may worry the produce
of prize animals to some extent, but
broadly viewed they are of little im
portance to those engaged in making
beef for the market These men care
little for the awards' of thp show ring
and much for the rewards of tbe mar
ket. It is a point in their favor that
tbe market finds the most economical
killers and the best carcasses among
cattle that cost the producers much
less than high finished show animals
would cost them. This fact is worth
more to the beef producers of tho land
than all the prizes that were ever
awarded. But the tendency in fat 6tock
shows is toward tho standpoint of the
slaughterers. The highest finished cat
tle do not always win. They may bo
too ripe. If there is any change in the
Ideals which govern the judging of
cattle on foot, it will be toward the
standard .which the market sets. No
buyer for a packing chouse could hold
his position an hour if he bought cat
tle on tbe show ring basis. He must
buy on tbe killing basis, and it is prob
able that fat cattle will ultimately
come to be Judged as they must be
'bought
