Book Title: HISTORY OF OCEANA CO., CHICAGO, H.R. PAGE & COMPANY, 1882

The County of Oceana is admirably adapted for stock raising, but the business 
is compartitively in its infancy as yet, it being but six years ago since 
anything of importance was done in this respect.  The county has a fertile 
soil, well watered with clear spring brooks, is of a rolling, undulating 
nature, and from its situation the Winters are generally mild.  There is not 
yet a single cheese factory or creamery in the county, but in time the county 
will be studded with these institutions.  A good beginning has been made with 
choice breeding animals in cattle, sheep, pigs and horses, and such farmers as 
Browne, of Pentwater, Russell, of Hart, and otheres, have done good service in 
introducing blooded stock.

In the sketch that follows we give an account only of the introduction of 
animals that are undoubtedly thorough-bred.
