In 1854, Svante Magnus Swenson, a Swedish merchant and banker, bought Texas
acreage. He later gave his sons, E.P. and S.A. Swenson, the land to develop and as
a result, the Swenson Brothers ranch was born. The brothers purchased additional
land and by the early 1900s ranch operations comprised of almost 500,000 acres
in four separate units, referred to as: Flat Top, Throckmorton, Tongue River and
Spur Ranches. The last two have been sold. The enterprise was incorporated under
the name Swenson Land and Cattle Co., Inc. in 1926. Today’s SMS is owned by the
Bruce and Parry Swenson families, both are great-grandsons of S.M. Swenson. The
ranch today consists of Flat Top and Throckmorton Ranches.

Vicars Cattle Company, located in north Texas, was established in the early
1980’s when owner Carroll Vicars began his own ranching business after the
partnership was dissolved with his father-in-law and brother-in-law. Current day-
to-day management is a partnership between owner Carroll, his son Doug and
son-in-law, Ken Jarosz. Presently, the ranch consists of a cow/calf and yearling
operation. All yearlings are pre-conditioned in traps before being turned out
either on grass or wheat, where the horses play a vital role in the maintenance of
the cattle. The family strives to continue the ranching tradition for their future
generations by using quality horses in the daily management of the ranch as well
as being competitive in cow horse and cutting competitions.
