In Argentina

At the annual cattle show at Buenos Aires, the judges looked upon a certain Shorthorn bull and gasped. His name was Faithful. "Superb," said one. "Unmatched is Faithful." cried another. "Of all the bulls that ever bos has borne there was never a more shapely specimen to gladden human eyes," exclaimed a third. Shortly afterward Senor Bartolome Ginocchio, breeder of fine cattle, looked upon Faithful, and his cockles of heart rose up with pleasure, and straightway there was no thought in him but to have Faithful for his own. So he went to the owner and a bargain was struck. The price was $60,000--the highest price ever paid anywhere for a Shorthorn bull.-

-In the U. S. $102,000 was paid for a Holstein bull, and once a Jersey sire brought $60 000, but never had such a price been paid for a fine specimen of th<< breed called Shorthorn.
