Winchester Line for Texas Cattle Fever Quarantine
The Winchester Line, begun in 1880 by Panhandle ranchers led by the Panhandle Stock Association, enforced a quarantine to keep south Texas cattle with tick fever out of panhandle herds. Rustling and rewards were tied to border routes up the Texas Oklahoma line, with noted trails past Matador and Collingsworth County toward the Stake Plains and Mobeetic areas. General Sherman reportedly protected the route along the border trail.
