Fred Abildgaard
Winfield, Cowley County, Kansas
| When I first met Mr. Abildgaard I made
up my mind that here was a man who would become a real Shorthorn
breeder. A few hours conversation with him later, confirmed this
opinion and when I reached his home, looked over the cattle, observed
his methods and listened to his statements, I knew that Mr. Abilgaard
was already a real breeder. He has an additional guarantee of
success in his sons who take a very active interest in the Shorthorns
and who are giving them personal attention not often given except by
professional herdsmen. The results of such care and attention are
apparent.
Mr. Abildgaard is no novice in the
business. A few years ago he was owner of a herd in northern
Missouri, which was sold to Bellow Bros. and some of these cattle
brought high prices in their sales and since they have been resold at
from $2000 to $4000. Three years ago Mr. Abildgaard located near
Winfield. |
