Charles
A. Spence, extensively engaged
in the raising of sheep and cattle at White Oaks, New Mexico, is a
native of Iowa and came to New Mexico in 1882. Here he became
actively interested in the stock industry, establishing a large
cattle ranch and also opened there and the village became an
important business center and distributing point for the surrounding
ranches. Mr. Spence has lived in White Oaks since 1901 and is
engaged in sheep raising on a large scale, being one of the leading
representatives of this business in his section of New Mexico. He
has done much to improve the grade of sheep raised by the
introduction of good breeds and has thus contributed in keeping the
price up to a high standard.
