Steve Smith owns Quahadi Ranch in western Erath County, which he purchased in the early eighties as a getaway place from Dallas. Over the years, he noticed a decline in quail populations on the property, prompting him to team with researchers from Tarleton State University and the Rolling Plains Quail Research Ranch to initiate a translocation project that successfully brought in bobwhite quail from South Texas to the Cross-timbers region. He believes in being a steward of the land and preserving it as God made it for future generations to enjoy.
