Cuero, Texas




We recently visited Cuero, the largest town in DeWitt County on the Gulf Coast Plain in South Central Texas. DeWitt County boasts the title of Wildflower Capital of Texas, boasting over 1,000 species of wildflowers. As you can see from the photos, the wildflowers are incredible!! Cuero pioneered the turkey raising industry in south central Texas for years and during the annual turkeyfest, flocks of turkeys were driven on foot through the streets to market. The town also hosts the Great Gobbler Gallop which is an annual race between two prize turkeys, one from Minnesota and one from Cuero.
