TEXAS RANCHES
Texas gets its name from an Indian word for friends and Texans enjoy welcoming you to their giant state where everything seems larger than life - especially Texan friendship and hospitality. Massive ranchlands are home to Longhorn cattle and much of the Old West is preserved in Forth Worth, a military outpost before it became a cow town where cattlemen drove their herds to the Stockyards to be shipped.
