"The Four Bar cattle brand was registered by Benton Strickland of nearby Animas, NM, in pre-statehood days (both AZ and NM became states in 1912). While most brands today are assigned with their registry number in the tens of thousands, the Four Bar is number 971. It is one of the oldest brands in the area. It is still in use today by Bill and Jill Cavaliere, owners of the Four Bar Cottages, and Jill is a grand daughter of Benton Strickland."
