Here are more interesting pictures in one place than I have ever found before.  Merry whiling away the weather and the very ridiculous one with the two girls is for KNABE!
Even the biggest Scotch Grinch can find something fun to look at here. I  thought the easiest way to look at it was two pages at a time, select the picture of two pages on the top row of icons,then just advance with the arrow by page number.
Why I was researching the McIver Brothers and how it took me here is anyone's guess.  Happy New Year.

Amazing stuff-the Iowa cattle look moderate and thick-like they allways do-Minnesota and oklahoma were really big then-and of COURSE-Illinois-still the capital of the breed. And one of the earliest (Ceremonius) Leemon pictures:who were great pioneers of polled cattle-and were one of the top outfits since the early 2oth century. I used to carry Harry Mcann around untill he was too fragile to ride anymore-and he told me stories about the cattle in those times-and people like the Leemons-Mathers-Albert Hultine, and the Maxwalton herd etc. Back then the "show jocks" would inject lard around patchy areas to smooth things out. He said he was at rhe 1920 something International-and when a bull got slapped champion -lard splatterd all over the judges fancy jacket O0
