This subseries mainly contains sale catalogs, Santa Gertrudis cattle breeding information, pedigrees, sales receipts, some correspondence, advertising tear sheets, and photographs of bulls, accompanied by many clippings regarding the Nine Bar Ranch in Cypress, Texas owned by Sterling C. Evans and Gus Wortham. This was the first major ranching and marketing venture by the two partners. Also present are correspondence and sales materials concerning cattle sales to Russian buyers. Though only in existence for about twenty years, Nine Bar Ranch's history of operations represents pacesetting marketing strategies still emulated by a multitude of modern cattle and horse ranches.
