My daddy worked for the Matador. I misd it so much. Some of my best childhood memories took place on this ranch.

My great grandfather Ross Dennington was born in Roaring Springs and worked on the Matador; his wife Ellen Blakely Dennington was born in Afton and was the bunkhouse cook on the Matador. My grandmother Lura Dennington Redden was born on the Matador.

I hauled for the Matador for many many years. First for Porter out of Dickens Texas when I was working for R.L. Burgess. then for Andy Taylor, and finally for Carroll Cattle.The best hauling I ever got from them was hauling cattle from the Yellow House at Littlefield Texas to Eureka Kansas

It's a punchy look for the hats being that way

[@adrianjos04]

What is with these big stupid cocked up hats that everyone wears nowdays ? Walk into a cattle camp with one of these on your head in the good old days and the old timers would laugh you off the camp.
