Biographical Sketch

A rancher whose operations spanned both Texas and Oklahoma, Ewing Halsell helped to open the Texas South Plains to farm settlement. He was born in 1877, in Jacksboro, Texas, the only son of the pioneer cattleman William Electious Halsell. He purchased Bird Creek Ranch near Vinita, Oklahoma, from his father in 1899 and assumed management of the Spring Lake (Mashed O) Ranch in Lamb and Bailey counties of Texas. On June 25, 1899, he married Lucile Fortner. Halsell contracted for the digging of the first irrigation well in Lamb County and, in the 1920s, along with a small group of other ranchers, initiated the use of milo maize as cattle feed in the arid regions of West and Southwest Texas. He built feedlots on his Oklahoma and Texas ranches in the 1930s and 1940s.

In 1923 he formed the Halsell Farms Company to facilitate land sales from the Spring Lake Ranch to settlers, and founded the Texas towns of Amherst and Earth to further promote land sales. He purchased the 100,000-acre Farias Ranch southwest of San Antonio in 1944 and moved his home and business headquarters there. A life member and former vice-president of the Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association, he was also a charter member of the Santa Gertrudis Breeder International Association and member of the Blue Stem Cattle Raisers Association. Halsell died on December 17, 1965 at his Farias Ranch.
