According to information furnished the United States Department of Agriculture by the American Shorthorn Breeders' Association, and published in Farmers' Bulletin 612, 1915, the ten bulls which have probably done most for the improvement of Shorthorn cattle as a breed during the last fifteen or sixteen years are as follows:
Whitehall Sultan 163573; Choice Goods 186802; Cumberland's Last 229822; Avondale 245144; March Knight 188105; Villager 295884; Cumberland 118578; Merry Hampton 132572; Lord Baniff 150718; and Whitehall Marshall 209776.
