Plot Synopsis

HIGHWAY COWBOYS is a one-hour reality series that follows cowboy families and teams, who help law enforcement clear Texas roads when cattle get loose on the highways of the Lone Star State. Loose livestock are a lethal threat in cattle country, and authorities are now turning to the only families who can handle the job. These teams regularly put their lives on the line to keep the Texas cattle country safe. There's no time for injuries as these risk-it-all heroes chase down everything from 2,000-pound bulls, to loose buffalo, emus and more. The Cowboys work fast to keep the situation under control, because every second that passes increases the risk of a potentially-lethal incident. HIGHWAY COWBOYS follows six teams from points near Houston and beyond: The Champions from Leon County, TX; The Jeffcoats from Liberty, TX; Junior & The Boys from Bastrop County, TX; Jerry Don & Crew; Bubba & Gray; and Mickey Gee & Crew.
