George Ranch, Richmond Texas

    The George Ranch is one of the best kept secrets in the Houston Area.  It is a living history ranch-complete with working cowboys, workers in period clothing , and ranching chores being done as it was in pioneer days.  They have longhorn cattle, give demonstrations on roping, branding, and running cattle through a dip tank- to control ticks and parasites.  The pigs are of the original species from the 1800's- not the short fat ones we have today.  These are long lean "athletic" oinkers.
