Pat McDowell runs McDowell Ranch in Shamrock, Texas, alongside his brothers and niece. With generations of experience, the family also grows corn, cotton, and wheat. Pat and his wife, Liz, have two daughters and four grandchildren, teaching the younger generation ranching skills. Pat recently became County Judge and continues managing ranch finances. He also served as Chairman of the Texas Beef Council. Despite living far from town, they enjoy beef from their freezer, with Sam's Club as their go-to for high-quality cuts.
