XVOBTH LAMBeCHICAGO 2ND PRIZE-PORTLAND Livesteek Shew Successes The Animal Husbandry Division of the College of Agriculture brought glory to the State Of California last fall in its very successful showing of fat stock at three International Expositions in this country. A great many prizes were won including eight breed championships and four grand championships against several of the most prominent agricul- tural colleges and breeders of the United States and Canada. During the first week in November, fat barrows, fat wethers and fat steers were exhibited at the Pacific International Livestock Exposition at Portland winning highest honors on fat barrows and fat wethers. Only three steers were shown, winning two seconds and one fourth prize. The fat wethers won easily in competition with the University of Idaho, Washington State College, Oregon Agricultural College, University of British Columbia and private breeders. We Claimed five breed cham- pionships and the grand champion wether 0f the show. Twelve head of the choicest wethers were then taken to the Kansas City Royal with Geo. Philip in charge, and repeated their victories; the grand champion sold at the close of the show for 50c a pound. The remaining wethers were then shipped to the greatest of all fat stock shows, the International at Chicago, where all the most prominent agricultural colleges and breeders of the country and Canada meet for final judgment. Again the California lambs gcwent over the t0pi9, California placing the Grand Champion VVether 0f the show on a grade lamb, a pen mate of the one sold at Kansas City, and shown here. This is the first time that a wether lamb won these honors at Chicago, a yearling having always won before and the j udge pronounced him the greatest lamb he had ever seen. The institution received much favorable comment throughout the circuit. t5li
