Biographical history

In September 1904 a group of cattle owners from the Airdrie district of Alberta formed a dipping ring to dip livestock affected with mange. The site was on Bert Clayton's land at NE-19-27-1-W5. The ring began with 12 members and appears to have operated as late as 1907. Share in the expenses and profit was allotted according to the number of stock dipped by each member in a year. Dipping of outsider's cattle was also carried out.
