Scope and content
L. C. Wilson, of Grandview Ranch in Colville Washington, hitches his cross bred "catalo" to his covered wagon for a 4,000 mile tour. "Jumbo," the catalo- also sometimes called a beefalo, was produced by breeding an American buffalo with a domestic cow. Jumbo and Mr. Wilson toured over 4,000 miles in a covered wagon to publicize and raise funds to hybridize the new animal species. "Jumbo" had the distinction of being the only existing male of his species. (T. Times 3/7/1935, pg. 10)
