Arkansas Has Good Guernsey Breeding

To Conway Scott of Little Rock, Arkansas goes the honor of entering the first Guernsey in Class CC. Advanced Register of the American Guernsey Cattle Club. His three year old Guernsey, Cecil's Mary of Fairview produced 8,848.4 pounds of milk and 447.0 pounds of butter fat, during the year on official test, besides carrying a calf during her record.

Mr. Scott purchased the cow from Peter Cologna & Sons of Marshfield, Missouri and expects to breed her to the famous Douglaston Count Pulaski. the Guernsey bull which was taken by aeroplane from Pulaski, New York to Little Rock, as the gift of Captain Hugh Barclay to the Scott Community. This bull's dam has a record of 665 pounds of milk as a senior two year old on the Island of Guernsey, and the cross should give Scott some very fine progeny.
