Hekrdle, one of our prominent Shorthorn Breeders recently returned from the International Live Stock Show at Chicago where he purchased Dreadnaught Balto to head his herd. Anton feels that this bull' has wonderful possibilities, being one of the best yearling bulls in the show.

Dreadnaught was bred at Halen Farms in Illinois, where prize winners are produced. He is sired by King Dreadnaught and from all indications is as richly a bred calf as can be found in the county. King Dreadnaught is acknowledged as one of the greatest sires of prize winning stock as there is in the breed. Dreadnaught Balto was third in his class, 6th in two bulls. bred by exhibitor, 7th in three bulls bred by exhibitor, 7th pair of calves, 4th in get of sire, and is a full brother to the 1st in his class.

This calf made about the same showing at the Royal Show. in! Kansas City. Anton is breeding some of his best cows to this young outstanding bull so we are expecting to have the Hekrdle herd at the Stanton County Fair next year with a wonderful array of Shorthorns.
