I was perusing some Old Hereford Journals this weekend (circa 1978), and was noting that Line One was becoming VERY popular at this time in the "frame race". In looking at a lot of pedigrees I have a few questions.
Coopers and Holdens used to have a joint sale. There are a lot of cattle with HH (Holden Herefords) and CL 1 (Cooper Herefords) but what was CH? It seems that it was Cooper Herefords. The thing that puzzles me is that it seems like I have seen cattle from the same time period with all three prefixes. Did Coopers-Holdens ever run a joint cowherd in addition to their individual herds or jointly own cattle/bulls? Also the prefix PW is in a lot of Coopers cattle and I read an ad on a PW prefix bull that said he was the top ratioing calf in the Cooper herd. Did Coopers ever us the PW prefix?
Also neat to note that alot of the pedigrees of bulls (Coopers and Holdens) in the early 70s late sixties had L12 and L6. I even saw a Holden bull with Straight Canadian dam.
Also noted that as late as the late 70s Miles City was still selling L12 bulls. When did they end L12? Some of the L12 bulls really looked useful to me.
Thanks!
