One of around 100 head of cattle that used to occupy the Reynolds farm in the late 1950's. Fred Reynolds started one of the first milk delivery services offered in the Deer Park area (around the 1930's). He would load up his covered wagon with 10 gallon milk cans and ride into town, stopping at as many milk farms along the way as he could.

It is unclear who is driving the tractor in this photo, but it is believed to be Fred Reynolds. The tractor he is driving is believed to be a late 1930's Allis-Chalmers Model "B", one of the first tractors offered with rubber tires.
