Spade Ranch Makes $200,000 on a Signal Cattle Sell in 1911

The Spade Ranch shipped 500 three-year-old heifers and about 4000 steers during the spring of 1911. The shipment of these cattle was sent out from Abernathy, which is the closest railroad station to the Spade Ranch. All the cattle are on good condition. The cattle brought about $200,000 to the ranch.
