I had never heard of the Wagoner ranch as a midwest kid in 1981. I arrived on a wheat cutting crew in June after a month of cutting in AZ. I couldn't believe the size of the ranch. We had 8 combines with support trucks. 6 stayed together and 2 of us went and harvested some of the smaller fields. I remember the old boy guiding us to one field saying he had worked for the ranch for 20 years and it was only the second time he had been to that field.... that was after a half day drive to the field! It was at the time the oil boom of the '70's was going to collapse and interest rates were skyrocketing so things were changing fast in the oil patch. Cut on the Paloma Ranch in AZ and to the Waggoner Ranch in TX. Both have been sold. Time moves on but glad to see some of it.
My Great Grand Father was John, brother of Dan Waggoner. It sickened me to see the family squabble over the estate and end up selling it to a no good Yankee Carpet Bagger. The new owner said he would preserve the Ranch and keep the staff of workers and ranch hands on the ranch. What did the lying SOB do? He fired them without notice, many of whom worked the ranch for 2,3, and 4 generations. Anyways. thanks for the nice tribute to Texas History and my family!!!!
Pat Keeler Not an option for whoever bought it. The whole operation generates about a quarter of that a year. Meaning in 5 years the people who purchased it will see a 100+ million dollar return on their investment.
I was raised in Electra, Texas. Named after Electra Waggoner and the closest place the Waggoner hands could get a beer. We got to see a lot of them. They were all typical minimum wage employees. Good people but not of the business class.

For some good Western Cowboy humor you must see Bronze Cowboy Pranks on youtube. He is in Old Town Scottsdale area. Hope you enjoy :-)
These are the traditions of the Mexican vaquero
False, these are texas cow punchers, definitely different from Mexican vaqueros. Still super good hands though.
@@samclegg2805 no, they are the same techniques

You mean the cowboys weren’t wearing suits and ties?
