DES MOINES, Iowa, <4.y) —
Prince T. Royal Rupert 99th, the
$38,000 hereford bull which never
produced a penny’s worth of off
spring, was headed today for an
ignoble demise in the slaughter
er’s chamber.
Decision to dispatch Rupert was
taken by Gov. Roy Turner of Ok
lahoma after the blue-blooded an
imal remained sterile despite five
years of corrective treatments in
cluding a pituitary operation.
At the time Turner purchased
T. Royal Rupert 99th as a two
year-oli in 1943, his sale price
was the highest of record for a
bull. Higher prices have been paid
for other bulls since.
