Bill Wright and his ancestors have been ranchers on Smith Mesa for 150 years. Of recent years, however, the ranch that has been home to Wright’s rodeo champion sons and their families have increasingly been threatened by corporate cattle raisers, tourism, environmental degradation, and federal regulators. Rodeo, a favorite cowboy past time during Bill’s younger days has now become the source of funds for the ranch’s maintenance. 
Will the succeeding generations be able to continue the cowboy life in the coming years?
