Contribute to the Upgrading of American Beef Cattle

Florida is rapidly taking its place among the leading cattle producing states of the natron . . . and, happily, the trend is toward the finer grades of stock. We feature Santo Gertrudis and Brahmans which w« find to be outstanding for stamina, productivity and high dressing-out ratio at but liftls fattening cost. Florida cattlemen are recognized for their research'and continuing work in range contro! and scientific breeding which has buift this state's cattle industry to an enviable point within but a few years.

CENTENNIAL GREETINGS TO

Developers of Santa Gertrudis

We congratulate and thank the Kir»g Ranch for its great contribution to the livestock industry in develop-

ing the Santa Gertrudis breed of beef cattle. These animals are rugged and make more and better beef in the

right places.

King Ranch bred bulls, which have been classified as Certified Purebreds, are used exclusively on our

-Santa Gertrudis cow herds.

Our buil calf crops are rigidly culSed so that-only top bulls are offered for breeding purposes. For the pur-

chasers' further protection, we maintain rate-of-gain records on bulls offered for sole.

Inquiries are invited and visitors are welcome at all times at our ranches.

Since the days of the early Texas explorers and the rangy Longhorn, St. Joseph's Island has been a fix- ture in the cattle business. The brush of early years hcis given way to clearing and range control, and the Longhorn to fine breeds of cattle and horseflesh. The Sid Richardson Ranch now comprises the whole of the 33,000-cjcre island. It is self-sustaining from the point of water, feeds and human food, and is" unique in that its heavy production of beef is.take,n to the mainland by c a 111 e barge, manned by "sea-going" cowboys. In its continuing program of research and progress, the Sid Richardson Ranch is rapidly upgrad- ing its herds to a pbsrit where in but a few years they will be pure blooded Santa Gertrudis.
