AMSLER SHORT HORN SALE TOTALED $19,680

The Henry Amsler and Son Shorthorn sale which was held at their farm near Surrey Saturday totaled $19,680 for the 80 head disposed of, or an average of $248 per head. The majority of the animals went to foreign buyers; but three going to parties in this county. The sale was unusually well attended and there were buyers from a considerable distance. The top price paid was $650, and the heifer Calf of this cow brought $590. The results of the sale were very gratifying to the owners. The sale was cried by Carey Jones, of Chicago, Fred Phillips, of this city, and Harvey Williams, of Remington. The Amsler herd is one of the finest in this part of the state. In the future Mr. Amsler will raise Scotch stock entirely.
