Roundup of Mavericks
The Back Story:
Mavericks - Unbranded Steers
During the Civil War era ranchers neglected their herds because Texas was so isolated from all Confederate states east of the Mississippi River. “Being cut off from the market, the ranchers found themselves with worthless stock. In fact, the value of cattle, in Texas, was so low that a rancher would lose money paying hired help to attend to his herd. Therefore, the ranchers gave very little, if any, attention to their herds. The herds multiplied rapidly and when the war ceased, there were thousands of unbranded cattle over all the range. These were known as “Mavericks”.
