He forecast further premium opportunities and a coming research breakthrough enabling year round suitability for Southern climates.

Last Matador chuck wagon joins the Valhalla of wagons
The Red Lake Cattle Co. wagon once used by the Matadors is described as the final chuck wagon to leave the range. Albert Mitchell notes the wagon's careful care, its age over 50 years, and its use since the 1940s with gear removed over time. The tale recalls a 1960 syndicate check, a past fire, and the wagon’s place as a symbol of matador lore.
