Lyndon B. Johnson donated more than 200 acres of the LBJ Ranch in Texas to the public. The National Park Service plans to showcase a working ranch with 36 head of cattle, crops, and restored Old West enterprises. Johnson will be paid 25000 to 35000 dollars for the cattle, and his foreman Dale Malachek plus five ranchhands will oversee operations. The site joins his birthplace and boyhood home as a unified presidential package within 15 miles of Johnson City and Fort Worth officials expect a premier historical experience.
