Starring comedian Dale Brisby, "your mom’s favorite bull rider", according to his bio on Instagram, How to Be a Cowboy is going to show us how to cowboy right.
To learn about this equestrian way of life, Brisby and acolytes take the viewer behind the scenes to his mysterious Radiator Ranch in Winnebago, Texas.
How to Be a Cowboy is a reality tv peppered with hilarious sitcom situations, where The Office meets Southern Survival with a little pinch of Yellowstone.
Dale Brisby is a popular YouTuber who, with his peculiar approach to the world of rodeo, has won the hearts of large audiences beyond country fans.
Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to Radiator Ranch and our guide to the filming locations of How to Be a Cowboy.
Probably not the largest ranch in Texas, The Radiator Ranch is allegedly located in a town called Winnebago.
However, Winnebago, Texas is not a real town. The place seems like a Brisby's troupe joke: you can find a lot of references to this place in the company's merchandising, including a t-shirt of the 'Beaches of Winnebago'.
Also, there's an image of Winnebago's city limit sign that reads population 17, established in the 2010s (the last number is not visible).
The business address of the Winnebago Rodeo Company, whose motto is "Buckin' stock around the clock", is located in a small house at 308 Lubbock Street in Newcastle.
Also, Dale's LinkedIn profile address is set in this tiny town in Young County, West Texas.
Winnebago is actually a company established in Iowa, Indiana, Oregon, Minnesota, and Florida, manufacturing recreational vehicles like motorhomes.
But the ranch manager at Radiator Ranch Cattle Company maybe doesn't want anyone to know where his Ol' Son sanctuary is located, so let's leave it like this.
But we are a filming location's website, and we are gonna give you the list of all the other spots featured in the series.
In the first episode, the team goes to Graham Livestock Commission in Graham to get rid of a rough bull called Carl Wayne.
According to one of our readers, Carl Wayne is from a Casey Donahew song called White Trash Story.
Carl Wayne was also the lead singer of a 1960s English band named The Move, best known for their single Flowers in the Rain. How is this related to the rodeo world? Dude, we have no clue.

In the last episode, Donnie's rodeo was filmed at the magnificent Tex-Rickard Arena in Henrietta.
Remember that if you don't have a long-sleeve button-up and a cowboy hat on, you ain't no cowboy.

I loved watching the series How to be a cowboy. I live in Windthorst, TX, so all of the places I know where they are. Pretty neat. Love it's in Texas. Keep making more seasons. Thank ya.
I remember a post on Facebook where Dale was gathering rattlesnakes off his ranch with a round point shovel and a trash can. I laughed my ass off it was the most cowboy thing I've ever seen. Really love the Netflix version. Great job guys!
I Loved the show, live down the road a piece from Newcastle, love those cowboys, born and raised Texas-style.
