Beibazar impresses his qualities markedly on his offspring. His get won
the Sweepstake prizes at the California and Oregon State Fairs in 1904,
and the championship for two-year-old buck at the World's Fair at St.
Louis, U. S. A., in 1904.

THE LANDRUM IMPORTATION.

In 1901, Wm. M. Landrum imported two bucks from South Africa. Their get
has been quite widely distributed in America, and has been of
considerable value.

THE HOERLE IMPORTATION.

In 1904, G. A. Hoerle imported about one hundred and thirty head from
South Africa. A few of these goats were exhibited at the St. Louis
World's Fair, and some of them have been distributed to American
breeders. A large part of them are now in New Jersey, and just what
their effect will be on American flocks remains to be seen.

ANGORA GOATS IN SOUTH AFRICA.

In 1838, Col. Henderson made the first importation of Angora goats into
South Africa, but while the number reaching the Cape was fourteen, yet
only two proved to be perfect animals, a doe and her kid. The twelve
bucks seem to have been tampered with, and they would not breed. Mr.
Schreiner says: "But for the fact that there were several million Boar
goats, thoroughly accustomed to the country, to furnish innumerable ewes
for grading up purposes, the industry would still have been in its
infancy." It was years before any more Angoras were imported into South
Africa.

The second importation into Cape Colony was made by Messrs. Mosenthal in
1856, and thirty Angoras reached their destination. Mr. Schreiner
reports that some of these goats were sold at public auction and brought
about $350 to $400 each.

The third importation was made by Sir Titus Salt, the English
manufacturer of mohair, and arrived in South Africa in 1857. Dr. White
had charge of these after they reached the colony.

The fourth importation consisted of about thirty-five animals, and was
made about 1858 by Mr. W. R. Thompson. These were considered very fine
animals, and were quite different from any previously imported.

Ten years later in 1868, another importation was made by South Africa
and from then on to 1880 between tw
