This Season.—Heifer Judged Best Animal of Any Kind
In'the Entire Show Which Takes in the Entire Coun
try and Competes With Island of Jersey Shows.
Thomaaville Jerseys are again tri
umphant, this time in the largest and
most famous dairy cattle show of the
year. The 1922 National Dairy Show,
held the first weelt In October, at
Minneapolis, produced many superb
specimens of the Jersey breed, many
that would show class in the Island
Competition. They came from all
over the United States, representing
every one of the best herds In the
country.
The outstanding animal of the great
show was Jasmine's Pretty Fanny,
505678, in the Junior Heifer class, who
stood first and was made grand cham
pion female of the entire show. This
heifer was sired by Jasmine's Fairy
Boy, 151052, an animal that is the
property of Neel Brothers, and
ular member of their great Jersey
herd, which now numbers thirty-
daughters of the wonderful bull, all of
whom are destined to make history
for Georgia Jerseys.
This is not the first showing made
in the highest ratings by Thomasville
Jerseys but It adds much to the worth
and the standing of this famous bull,
the sire of the grand champion animal.
Neel Brothers are naturally elated at
the splendid showing made by this
heifer and feel that in hir sisters
they have very valuable Jersey proper
