[QUOTE="Jimbo, post: 910720, member: 18304"] I know a little about the Litton Ranch aftermath. I worked for Rainbows End Ranch during the late 70s in Douglas, AZ. I remember receiving cattle with the LCR ear tag, and being in on the tagging of the 2nd or 3rd years of calves there. Our big bull who might have been a "Sam" offspring was Impressive G560. He threw some great show calves and we had a nice string of show cattle we took all over the country. We went in style, with a white semi truck and a semi cattle trailer painted gold!!! Our tack boxes were gold too. The owner was a man named Schoenfelder from Scottsdale, and the manager was Ray Rodriguez. I dated Rays daughter and worked after school and on weekends helping with the string. My boss was Tim Hicks. He was very talented at the showing game and also the wildest man I had ever met! I was 17 or 18 and it didn't take too many trips to major stock shows till I was broken up with the bosses daughter and drinking like a fish!! Anyway our party only lasted about 18 months, and Tim was fired and I was off to clip cattle for an outfit out of Lavina Montana for a winter. As I recall they didnt show much longer than that, and every time I went by the ranch from then on, it looked in worse and worse repair. I look on that time fondly as I learned so much about cattle, and life. I'm a city boy now, but I have on occasion in my 30 years since Rainbows end, happened upon a 4-H kid with a steer at the local fair, stopped and fitted him up to look like a "million" just for kicks!
