SCOTCH SHORTHORNS
A number of good Scotch Shorthorn Bull calves for sale ranging
from 6 to 16 months old. These calves are from imported and
Canadian bred dams, and good enough to head the best herds in the
state. Our cattle were prize winners in the hands of our
customers last year at Waukon, Elkader and National, and this
year at West Union, Elkader and National. It pays to buy the
best. Prices lower than anywhere else, considering the breeding.
Come and see them or write. Farm four miles north of Luana, Iowa.
