About 1920
T. J. Dawe began breeding Shorthorns in
Doniphan county in 1882, buying his foundation of local breeders and he has
been in the work continuously since that time. In 1910 associated with
his son "Jim" under the firm name of T. J. Dawe & Son, the
firm changed its methods of operation by making purchases of choice cattle
from the leading herds of America. In 1911 they began showing at the
St. Joseph fair and at Topeka and Hutchinson winning their share of the
ribbons. They owned and exhibited Diamond Emblem, one of the best
known show and breeding bulls in the state, until his death from forage
poisoning in 1919. Mrs. E. A. Myer, a daughter of T. J. Dawe, is
living on the old farm near Troy and with her husband is engaged in breeding
Shorthorns.
