[QUOTE="HerefordSire, post: 614498, member: 4437"] [i]Here was the principal Gudgell competition who also imported Hereford cattle during the same time period and only had 7,680 acres:[/i] On April 15, 1873, Charles Willard Cook of Chicago, purchased 12 sections of land, 7680 acres, for $5.00 per acre. The total purchase price was $38,400. Mr. Cook divided this farm into half-section farms on which he placed his tenants and hired help. Mr. C. W. Cook imported his first Hereford cattle from England in 1883. He imported 306 head, which was the foundation of the Brookmont Hereford herd. Many hundreds of cattle were raised and sold on this ranch as well as many thousands of bushels of corn, oats, barley and pop corn. Mr. A. E. Cook held his purebred Hereford dispersion sale on April 16 and 17, 1914.
