In 1906 the Chicago packing firm Swift & Company bought the ranch. Almost immediately, the company began shipping the cattle out and selling the land in individual tracts to farmers and ranchers. The sell-off was completed by 1913. The largest sale was made in 1910 to William J. Lewis of Clarendon. Smith photographed on Lewis' spread.
