• “The following clipping from the Shorthorn World will be of interest to Forum readers: ‘Edward White, Pine Hill Farm, Fairfax, Missouri, is willing to concede that the bull is half the herd, but insists that he must have cooperation from the cows. This year his Bellows bred herd bull has sired calves to the proportion of 110% of his cows. He said this couldn’t have happened if three of the cows hadn’t dropped twin calves. All of the calves are healthy and are growing well. One cow that had twin bull calves this year had twin heifers last year. Her ear tag is number 13. The twins were sired by Supereme Royal Baron 2nd that won 1st prize at the Missouri State Fair for Bellows Bros.’”
