Bio/Historical Note: The Matador Farm was a co-operative enterprise established near Kyle, Saskatchewan, in April 1946. The Ranch was originally operated by the Matador Land and Cattle Company of Texas. Following World War II, the Co-operative Commonwealth Association offered crown land and monetary assistance to individuals--including returning soldiers—willing to farm on a co-operative basis. Their production of quality grain was so successful that they eventually surpassed their quota, prompting them to integrate livestock into production. This co-operative movement flourished until the mid-1950s, when the farms began to decrease in number. The Matador farm was revitalized and repurposed multiple times throughout the 20th century; it permanently disbanded in 2011.
