In 1873, the Mormon Churchs Pipe Spring operation became the Winsor Castle Stock Growing Company, also under the direction of Anson Perry Winsor, who left Pipe Spring in 1875. The Church utilized Winsor Castle as headquarters for their tithed cattle herd. As part of the tithing operation, 80 to 100 head of cattle were milked daily. The milk was taken into the spring room of Winsor Castle, where it was processed into cheese and butter. The products were taken to St. George for work mission distribution. In the 1880s, the operations were placed under the management of Edwin D. Woolley, who with the help of his wife Flora, maintained Winsor Castle and the Churchs cattle. Congress soon passed laws forbidding the early Mormon Church doctrine of polygamy. Under the Woolley administration, Pipe Spring and Winsor Castle became a hideout for individuals escaping prosecution for plural marriage.
