Cattle ranching has been a cornerstone of Texas’ economy even before there was a Texas. Most people don’t realize that there was a system of coastal ranches in The Lone Star State that had to essentially reinvent the industry and adapt their horses, gear, and clothing to new landscapes and obstacles. Some of these coastal ranches were among the first in the state to adopt new technologies in the industry such as fencing, branding cattle, and protecting the health of their herds.
