The property was purchased in 1949 by brothers, William and John Conaghan, for 4800 pounds or one shilling and fourpence per acre. William’s son, Robert (Bob) and his wife, Rosemary, built their first feedlot yard in 1982 to feed out 100 steers on a mix of sorghum, hay and concentrates. By 1989, the feedlot had increased to 700 head and began custom feeding other people’s cattle in November, 1990.
