DURHAM COUNTY SHORTHORNS TOPS AT SHERBROOKE, QUE., FAIR Reported in the Montreal Ga- zette, Oct. 20,' were the awards ai the Sherbrooke, Que., Winter Fair Fat Stock Show. F. G. Bennett and Son of Bury won the Grand Championship with a Shorthorn of superlative finish. The re- serve champion was a Shorthorn steer entered by Norman H. Beech of Lennoxville. 0f interest to Durham County breeders is the fact that Jack Baker, Hamp- ton, has supplied both these Que- bec breeders with stock f rom Durham County. The steer that won the reserve championship he shipped a year ago to Mr. Beach who fitted it for the show. So pleased was Mr. Beach with hiis win that he immediately sent a telegram to Jack Baker telling of the event, The steer was bred by Cecil Philp, Janetville, and is of Cumberland strain. In the Blue Ribbon auction of Short- horns at Blackstock, on Nov. 6, others of the same lineage are isted in. the catalogue, which no doubt wi:ll be of interest to local buyers looking for Prime beef reeding stock. At the Sherbrooke show, Angus and other beed breeds enter the competitions but the Shorthorns top the list of winners. This-show ithe biggest of its kind in Canada and in the auctions which follow te price per pound averages higher than anywhere in America. The auction this year netted $60,- )00 with a top of $2.50 per Pound paid for the champion. The re- ;rve grand steer was bid in by te T. Eaton Co. at $1.55 per ound. The top Angus brought 1l.03 and the top Hereford 69 snts per pound. While there is no desire to minimize the beef qualities of )ther breeds it is quite evident, xomn the above results that Short- ios remnain the classie beef )reed. Combined with their nilking qualities they are indeed irtually matchless in all-round Lalities.
