mong the most storied ranches in
Far West Texas, the o6 brand was
registered as early as 1837. It was
purchased by John Kokernot in 1872, who,
with his brother Lee, began grazing cattle on
open range west of the Pecos. In 1912, Lee's
son, Herbert Lee Sr. (1867–1949), began to
piece together the immense property now
known as the o6 Ranch and the Leoncita
Cattle Company.
