Byrd returned to Antaarctica on his second expedition in 1933, he car ried with him a blue-blooded Guernsey cow to furnish his men with fresh milk. The cow's name was Klondike Gay Carteret, from Thurmond Chatham's Klondike Farm, four miles north of Elkin. In the icy waters of Little America, Klondike Gay Carteret gave birth to a bull calf, Klondike Iceberg, the first and only bovine animal born within the Antarctic | Circle. Klondike Iceberg survived j the rigors of the Antarctic for 15 months, the trip back across the equator, and an extended tour of the United States to follow up the newspaped headlines he had made j j a year and a half before. Today j j Klondike Iceberg is grazing the | rolling green hills of Klondike! Farm. Last month Iceberg's claim to j fame among the 160 fawn and j white-spotted Klondike Guern- j j seys was shared equally by a | young cow, Klondike Jette, owner j | of a new world's milk and butter- ! ! fat production record. To estab- j | lish her record among her breed and class (for three and one- j half year olds), Klondike Jette | produced 18,238 lbs. of milk and i | 930 lbs. of butterfat in one year, | ! more poundage each month than j her actual body weight (1,2051 lbs.). To have carried her year's! | production would have required | | a caravan of nine one-ton trucks. | — die and R. J.
