Resides sixteen miles from the city, two miles from West Liberty; post office, West Liberty.

Among Mr. Jacobs’ premium herd are to be found many of those rarely bred animals whose value reaches up into the thousands, which often excites incredulity on the part of persons not familiar with the pure blooded cattle business. Mr. Jacobs commenced the cattle business in 1869, and his wonderful success stands without a parallel. His sales, which take place annually, have amounted to many hundred thousand dollars, and he, not satisfied with his present eminent position as The Cattle King of the Northwest, is continually spending thousands of dollars in Europe and this country, seemingly determined to reach that position where he will be without a peer in the cattle business. Our space will not admit of anything like a description of the herd. The “Peri,” “Golden Drops,” “Water Lilies,” and “Rose of Sharon,” are a few of the renowned families represented. Mr. Jacobs has also a fondness for fine horses. He was born in Vermont 1830; came to this county 1857.
