714 A HISTORY OF HEREFORD CATTLE 



ing additional bulls are from time to time intro- 

 duced from good herds in various states. 



Mr. Goodnight brought his share of the JJ's on 

 dissolution to his present home in Armstrong coun- 

 ty, branding them + JJ. He bred them up to a high 

 standard, selling them in 1896 to C. C. Slaughter.* 



Richard Walsh, Manager. Mr. John Farringtoii 

 managed the Palo Duro property from 1887 to 1890. 

 Mr. Arthur J. Tisdall was manager for one year, 

 1891. He was succeeded by Mr. Eichard Walsh, 

 who for eighteen years conducted the business of 

 the ranch with the greatest success and became one 

 of the best known and best liked cattlemen in the 

 southwest. He resigned his position in 1910, spent 

 a year in southern Brazil in company with Mr. 

 Murdo Mackenzie, the former Matador manager, 

 and is now managing an immense newly established 

 ranch in Ehodesia, owned and controlled by the 

 British South Africa Chartered Co. The Palo Duro 

 management at present is in the hands of J. W. 

 Wads worth, Jr., who has held the position for the 

 last four years. The property now comprises 

 500,000 acres, completely fenced and cross-fenced 

 into convenient pastures. From 1892 to 1910 emi- 

 nently successful efforts were made by Mr. Walsh 

 to concentrate the property in a solid block. This 

 was accomplished slowly and surely by exchanging 

 lands on the perimeter for those state school lands 



*Charles Goodnight at this date (1914) is still living and is 

 breeding buffalo and a cross between the bison and the cow which 

 he calls "cattalo". He is successfully farming some 1,200 acres 

 of his ranch, and as always doing all in his power for the up- 

 building of the country he knows and loves so well.
