John McCoy
Brown County, Kansas
About 1920
John McCoy, a native of Ireland, came to
Kansas in 1872. In 1878 he bought his first Shorthorn cow at W. S.
White's sale for $100. In 1881 he bought a red and white bull, Craig,
by Loudon Duke 6th of Cowan's and shortly thereafter he secured four cows
from the Cowan herd. "They were good ones and they would be good
ones now", Mr. McCoy told me. A succession of high class bulls
was used. With judicious care and feeding, Mr. McCoy, unhampered by
fads, with only real Shorthorn quality in mind, developed his herd into one
of great excellence... Mr. McCoy must be considered one of the constructive
breeders of the state. Now at seventy-nine years of age he enjoys
showing the results of his efforts and telling of the bulls that did the
work.
