"Vaquero - the Vaquero, or Cowboy, served the cattle industry of Texas and contributed to the mythical spirit of the West. Between 1821 and the end of the trail driving era, Mexican stock handling techniques and horsemanship represented great influence on the cattle industry. Many Vaqueros contracted with Texas ranchers, while others worked for Mexican operators to move cattle north to market. Baccus Plaza 2006"
