About Proud Heritage: The Rancher
With a wealth of remarkable characters and spirited stories, PROUD HERITAGE: THE RANCHER brings to life the people and events that formed our West Texas home in the pioneer days of the West.
In its third year, The Proud Heritage Series profiles the unique stories of our West Texas family and preserves our heritage in crystal-clear high-definition for future generations to cherish.
This year, we take a trip back to the Wild West where Texans stood tall on the frontier. Back to the days when our boots were dusty and our ranchers crusty. Ranching families interviewed for this documentary include the Scharbauers, the McKnights, the Cowdens, the Barrows, the Hendersons, the Andersons and more.
