Boxcar Boys
Beginning with the earliest days of the railroad, transportation of livestock was an important for farmers, businesses related to agriculture and to the railroads themselves. At first, livestock was transported in boxcars to packing plants at major terminals. Once herd books were established for purebred livestock, shows and fairs became an important way of promotion. From the 1890s until the late 1960s, show cattle were transportation of rail. It was common for as many as 30 carloads of cattle to arrive at larger shows. Many of these herds came from distant places. In all cases, show cattle were accompanied by skilled herdsman who often traveled many weeks and sometimes months with the animals. Boxcar Boys: Riding the Rails with Bovine Beauties tells the stories of dozens of men and sometimes women who cared for many of the finest cattle in the world. It is a history of a bygone era that made a huge contribution to the development of North American agriculture.

Seed Stock
When this book was begun, its purpose was to reminisce about a number of the more influential Registered Holsteins witnessed over the years through work at public sales. In addition, such a book would allow for a more detailed study of the background of these cattle than the harried schedules of time gone by made possible. And this undertaking would also provide an opportunity to investigate the"impact" of the descendants of these cattle on present-day Holsteins. This was all to be done in one book. As the information accumulated, it became apparent that this would not be possible. The story of Quality Fobes Abbekerk Gay and her famous family, alone, stretched on until it reached book length...
