A ROYAL SHOW IN AMERICAN STYLE
la the show ling at Kansas City, Missouri, during the American Royal Live Stock and Horse Show, one of the largest and best known of the 2200 agricultural and livestock “ expositions ” held each year in the United States. It is here, in the “agricultural heart of America” that the cream of American beef cattle, pigs, sheep, and mules compete in the arena with the top animals of the rest of the nation. The show is attended by stockmen, cattle-breeders, cattle-feeders, animal-husbandry professors, executives of the packing industry, ranchers, farmers, and city folk. This picture was taken when 340 white-faced Hereford cattle (their total value exceeding half a-million dollars) lumbered into the ring for the selection by the judges of the 10 best. The ring is brilliantly floodlit. More than 8000 spectators are crammed into the grandstand that surrounds the arena.
