Dan Gardner turned to his boyhood friend Eugene Williams for financing of his ranching venture which was incorporated as Pitchfork Land & Cattle Co., using the Pitchfork brand of the original stock Gardner acquired. Descendants of Eugene Williams continue to operate the ranch in the same conservative manner as did the ranch's founders. Today, Pitchfork Land & Cattle Company stretches some 181,000 acres in four Texas counties and an additional 3,300 acres in the Flint Hills of Kansas.The ranch runs commercial cattle which include Angus, Herefords, the Angus X Hereford cross known as the black baldy and South Texas crossbreds. Pitchfork-bred Quarter Horses are highly sought both as dependable ranch horses and consistent competitors in rodeo events and ranch competitions.
