00:00I was asked why did you move to Bandera and I said I finally found Texas.
00:09There won't be any more cowboys. The cities are spreading, technology's taking over. There's,
00:20you know, there's already cattle ranchers that don't even use horses anymore.
00:24Every person I meet that comes to this ranch, the kids, the adults, they want to be a cowboy.

00:41I want my community, Bandera.
00:51To become and stay greater but the same.
01:05The cowboy is not necessarily boots and chaps and a hat and a belt and all this stuff.
