He eventually lost heavily by the deal; but being a man of substance I got my money all right.

So closed my cattle-ranching experiences some eight years ago (1902).
It may be noted that experience showed that polled black bulls were no good for ranch purposes.

They get few calves, are lazy, and have not the "rustling" spirit.

Durhams or Shorthorns also compared poorly in these respects with Herefords, and besides are not nearly so hardy.

The white face is therefore king of the range.
