Matador Land and Cattle Company
Established in 1879 by Alfred Markham Britton, Henry Harrison Campbell, and associates, the ranch covered one and a half million acres in Motley, Cottle, Floyd and Dickens counties of Texas. In 1882 the founders sold their cattle and range rights to a syndicate based in Dundee, Scotland. Additional acreage was leased in south central Kansas, the Texas Panhandle, Canada, South Dakota and Montana and by 1933, the Matador's Texas holdings totaled nearly 900,000 acres. With rare exceptions during periods of drought, substantial dividends were paid annually. Company stocks increased from an originally $ .70 to $23.70 per share in 1951, when the stockholders sold their shares to Lazard Brothers and Company. Principals in ranches' operation included manager Murdo Mackenzie and the company secretary in Scotland, Alexander Mackay.
