III

Canada's largest cattle 'empire', the Douglas Lake Cattle Co., uses this simple 'Three Bar' brand. Homesteaded by John Douglas in 1872, the 'spread' grew while supplying meat in the 1880's to C.P.R construction crews. Since then, hundreds of train loads of 'beef' and thousands of head of horses, all bearing this noted brand, have been shipped from the famous ranch's half-million acres.
