Location details
Fort Worth Stockyards are worth a visit. They lay on cattle drives for tourists, and the drovers hired to stage the event are great value; they know their history and ooze Texan pride. And thankyou also to Steve Murrin at the Westfork Ranch, Texas, for allowing to film the herds on his land.
The final sequences were filmed on the 3-Deuce Ranch, just east of Lewistown, Montana. The ranch is still owned by the Abbott family, and we filmed there as the guests of Darrell Abbott, a Vietnam vet who kept us entertained with a fascinating account of his family history.
