A ranching corporation of a pioneer West Texas family dating back to the 1850s, the Reynolds Land and Cattle Company operations were conducted from Fort Worth, Texas, with properties located in Shackelford, Haskell, Borden, Scurry, Dallam, Hartley, Jeff Davis, and Culberson counties of West Texas, and leased operations in Montana, New Mexico, and Oklahoma. Cattle, sheep, horse raising, general farming, oil lease activities, and horse racing have been among the company's operations, although land acquisition and development are its primary concerns.

 Scope and Contents

The collection contains correspondence, legal and financial documents, and general office files. It bulks (1919-1956) with financial documents, specifically the records of cattle sales and tallies. Of special interest are the records of companies run by the Reynolds Family such as the Cisco Oil Mill, Monroe Cattle Company, Ralls County Cattle Company, Reynolds Brothers and Conrad, and the Rock Pile Ranch.
