Texas

A unique state and a unique state of mind - that's Texas. The largest state in the union (except Alaska), Texas is a huge, economically diverse region of the country, which still retains its old west roots and flavor. The Fort Worth stockyards are a great introduction to the Lone Star state where visitors can meet the Cow Whisperer and see an old time cattle drive through the middle of downtown. Modern Fort Worth is home to several art and history museums, along with Billy Bob's, the world's largest honky-tonk, where patrons dance, drink and watch rodeo clowns get tossed around by menacing bulls. Longhorn cattle are an icon of Texas and rancher Bernard Lankford Jr. knows a good deal about them. He shares a few of his entertaining stories about longhorns and life on his ranch in Weatherford. At the Slate River Ranch, Glade Knight spends his time breeding and training world champion cutting horses', equines trained for competition in the art and sport of herding cattle. Proximity to Mex
