Texas Cattle Round Up

Knight Land & Cattle teams up with Legacy Farmstead to bring military veterans and country musicians together for fellowship, continued camaraderie, and a chance to come together in the great outdoors on a working ranch for a mission in Midway, Texas. A Cattle Round Up!


Over the few days, participants were familiarized with horse riding before they went out on their mission to the great pastures and round up cattle, working as a team, driving them in and helping with medically inspecting, deworming, and tagging the calves.



I am becoming more Texan each day! Hope you enjoy the story!
