Home on the range…

Luxuriant grasses, fine winter range and plenty of water were the features, which attracted the Texas ranchers. Each year after 1869, larger herds were driven up from the south and ten years later, there were 60,000 head of cattle on the open range. Abundant feed, open winters and the free range gave this area the title of "The Cattleman’s Paradise."
