It is significant for association with G.E. Lemmon, remembered as "the embodiment of what a real cowboy was, rather than the mythical image many believe." Among other achievements, Lemmon handled the most cattle in one day, over 900, in "cutting out, roping and carrying to fire for branding", according to the National Livestock Association.[2]
