Cole McGraw was the definition of a Texas boy. Born and raised in the heart of Willow Bend, he grew up surrounded by endless fields, dusty roads, and the kind of sunsets people only saw in old country songs. The McGraw ranch sat just outside town, stretched across acres of open land lined with wooden fences and grazing cattle. Horses roamed the pastures, chickens wandered near the barn, and sheep and cows filled the fields with constant noise and movement.
