Texas Cowpuncher Part Two is about the many styles of cowboying in Texas. Down in Gulf country, cowboys on horseback can get ornery crossbred Brahmas to do most anything, even swimming the Intracoastal Waterway to winter grazing grounds. Further inland, they rely on their dogs to bay up the cattle in the swamps and woodlands, and watch out for the occasional alligator. In the brush country, cattle hide in thorny mesquite thickets, but fearless Brush Poppers charge right in after them. And in West Texas, branding takes weeks as Punchers move from camp to camp with the wagon and a hunded-horse remuda. The day begins before sunup and and ends after two gathers and two brandings. In this country, there s a code of conduct, and breaking it has consequences.
