Six years ago this ranch maintained throughout
the year about forty thousand head of cattle. The
range was injured by being overstockei, and the
stock was sold, the owner Of this ranch selling
twelve thousand head. After q rest of six years

when in its primitive condition The four thousand
head of cattle now offered fer sale are the progeny
of well-seected COWS from the best dairy herds in
California and Nevada. They have increased to
their present numbers very rapidly; eight hundred
calves will be branded in 1885, and estimating upon
the basis Of the past experience of increase, the
brand Of 1884 will exceed that number by one-half.
The range is capable of supporting, without being
overstocked, twenty-five thousand head AID the
present herd may be increased to that number with
out seekii other range than that now proposed
