Maverick

What’s the term mean? I gleaned my definition from several sources. Maybe five years back I ran it as trivia question, too. True native Texans know the answer – and in South Texas? Know that answer by heart.

The original “Maverick” was a cattle rancher who refused to brand his cattle so when part or even just a piece of a herd was wandering around, no name tag on its arse?

“Must be a Maverick.”
