Import of a fine Clydesdale stallion from Callaway county
Messrs Jonathan Crume and Dan Argent recently returned with a fine Clydesdale stallion purchased from Mr Thomas Herrison of Callaway county. The four year old, dapple gray gelding stands about sixteen hands and three inches, with a powerful draught horse appearance. Many prefer Clydesdales to Perolitron stock for draught work. Stock men show active interest in improving stock, and Crume and Argent deserve praise for their venture.
