Garrett and his grandson were on their way "to the Okotoma to see if they're bitin'."

Box 255 Magee 849-4112 ADDRESS CITY a STATE i I i JKJJkiV. to I 1 i --w I Thursday, Friday and Saturday Only He's This year's Simpson County Grand Champion Brahman BuD was picked as Grand Champion in the district. Because of numerous inquiries, we would like to tell his story. V7 is a Brahman of the GYR bloodline. This bloodline is usually speckled and related to Red Brahmans.

They are known for their increased milk production, beefy conformation and extreme gentleness. They are relatively small at birth, resulting in less calving troubles, and they grow off fast. The GYR is highly fertile and all of these traits are passed on to their progeny (calves) Also, Brahmans are GRYeat mothers and they provide more hybrid vigor when cross-breeding because they are' unrelated to the British breeds. It's no coincidence mat we've had the Grand Champion Brahman. Bull two years in a row! Sooner or later, as a progressive cattleman, you'll be breeding a Brahman bull.

Shouldn't you start with and breed with the best? For further infonnation, contact: Royal Red Brahmans James R. Sarah Magee Magee, Mississippi 39111 $39 6 Oz. Sirloin Strip Baked Potato or French Fries, Salad Bar, Texas Toast ,1 ii.1 1 I 601849-3996 HES'V V..
