Hurricane Harvey

[Mystic Wanderer]

Here are some TRUE TX cowboys.     There are more pictures on the link, but I'll let you go there to have a look because of the size. There are also a couple of videos: Floods bring the Old West back to Texas

In a scene worthy of an old western film, a group of cowboys, along with Texas law enforcement, rescued about 200 cattle on Sunday after they became stranded by flooding in the Trinity River.

When nearly 1,800 acres of dry land dwindled down to 50 as a result of severe flooding in Dayton, a heard of cattle became surrounded by water at the Liberty Bell Ranch with no escape, KPRC reports.
 
So, law enforcement and the group of cowboys led the animals more than 70 miles, swimming and walking, away from the rising, alligator infested waters, KHOU reports.
