==Early life==
Robert Nelson Stanfield, Jr., was born near the city of Umatilla, in Eastern Oregon on July 9, 1877., the first son of Harriet Thankful Townsend and Robert N. Stanfield, Sr., owner of a livery stable and freighting company.〔Stanfield family records, Oregon Historical Society, Portland〕 He lived in Umatilla until 1882 when his family moved to Pendleton, where his father ran a freight forwarding business. In 1885, the family moved to the former Buel Atwood place on Butter Creek, near Echo, Oregon. After the family moved to Butter Creek, he attended school at the Thomson School and then at the Butter Creek School built on land his father donated to the school district.〔Gerald E. Stanfield, unpublished autobiography (1972), Stanfield Family Papers.〕
In the fall of 1895, he enrolled in the state normal school at neighboring Weston.〔 His education was interrupted by the death of his father, Robert N. Stanfield, Sr., on April 15, 1896. He left school in 1897, after completing two years, and took over management of the Stanfield ranch on Butter Creek from his mother. From the original ranch on Butter Creek, he and his brothers built up a large livestock operation with multiple ranches.〔G.E.Stanfield〕 He was also involved in banking in Echo and Baker.〔 He started with cattle and then switched mainly to sheep.〔Neal, Steve (1985). McNary of Oregon: A Political Biography. Portland, Oregon: Western Imprints, pp. 40–46.〕 During World War I his flocks were estimated to include 350,000 head of sheep, making him the world's largest sheep rancher.〔
