[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1835737, member: 40587"] Saw the article below in a FB group today. This is how the roan-ing/small spots got into the Longhorns. And not just this ranch, but a lot of them. [I]In 1882, Tom Lynch trailed a herd of 3,000 cattle north from Idaho to Spitzee Crossing (near the town of High River). These cattle where mostly descendent from longhorn stock which joined the 21 shorthorn bulls that Fred Stimson, with the help of 19 year old Herb Miller, brought up from Chicago. This herd was the beginning of the Bar U herd. Stimson was attracted to this area by his brother in law of the North West Mounted Police. In 1881, he registered the Bar U brand under his name. He then proceeded to get backing from the Allan family from Montreal and created the the North West Cattle Co. In 1883, the North West Cattle Co. Moved their head quarters upstream to the now current site of the Bar U.[/I] [ATTACH type="full"]39330[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
