Renderbrook: A Century Under the Spade Brand

By Texas Christian Univ Press and Steve Kelton

Book Overview

The hundred-year history of the Renderbrook Spade Ranch mirrors the history of ranching in West Texas, tracing ranching's evolution from an open-range, Longhorn-dominated industry to today's forward-looking specialized operations which survive by using state-of-the-art technology in genetics, nutrition, marketing and range science. The story is one of slow but steady progress from the horse-and-wagon era to the age of computers, crossbreeding and embryo transplants.
