William D. Stalls (Texas Tech, class of 1949), was a cattle buyer for
over 25 years in the Texas Panhandle. In 1968 he helped start the Missouri Beef
Packers (MBP), which later became Excel Packing Company, with plants in Friona
and Plainview, and later became Meat Solutions, a subsidiary of Cargill. He
also bought cattle for Aztec Cattle Company (Hereford, Texas), after retiring
from Excel. Following his retirement he lived in Albuquerque, New Mexico with
his wife, Thala Foster Stalls. During the course of his work he acquired a
large amount of material related to the cattle industry in West Texas. Mr
Stalls passed away on August 30, 2011.
