manager, by 1886 had bought for the
ranch total of 110,721 head of cat
tie and he had 7845 miles of fence con-
structed. Along the TexaS-New Mexico
line was 260 miles of tt-150 miles
without even slight bend IN the line.
So great was the fencing job that even
gate hinges were bought by the car
load. Cross fences finally turned the
ranch into "a pastures.
Brand Is Selected
Various brands were suggested by
the interested partners. KIT was fin
ally adopted. Tradition says it means
'"Ten In Texas" since the ranch Oc-
cupied large parts of ten counties. Old
timers say it was selected because 1t
would be hard to burn into another
brand by rustlers. 1t was easy to burn
with a single straight bar five inches
long, using five strokes.
The brand was never successfully
burned into another but once. The
culprit was tried and acquitted. One
story has it that then, for sheer i'm
pudence, he sat down and showed the
KIT bosses Just how 1t was done; an
other is that the management gave
him his freedom and $4,000 TO show
how it had been done.
The old Capitol Freehold Land q In
veStment Co. later became the Capitol
Freehold Land Trust, which owns
about a tenth of the original grant,
and owns no cattle today.
From about 1887 through the flrst
decade of the present century, the KIT
brand had large place on Montanas
range land. It was about 1887 that
Boyce, then general manager, started
his first trail crew north, with IN
structions to keep going until you
can wet your feet in the Yellowstone.
KIT headquarters were established
and maintained in the country north
of Glendive and Terry, and KIT cat
tie ranged across the country as far
as the Musselshell. Its early trail herds
helped to swell the volume of cattle
which came up the great Texas Trail
before the railroads we're built. Later
the cattle were shipped by rail to
Grin Junction, east of Casper, Wyo.,
and then trailed to the range. Later
they came by rail to Billings, or TO
the rail station nearest the range.
Double Wintered in Montana
Texas cattle were raised to two-year-
olds on the KIT range In the Pan
handle and then trailed to Montana
to be double wintered and then ship
ped to the Chicago market as Tine
beef.
The KIT, with its breeding ranges
In Texas. and the OK (Kohrs and Biel-
which raised cattle In Mon
tana, were the last to abandon open
range operations in eastern Montana
