Every generation has its way of capturing family memories. Some families filled shelves with camcorder tapes, others tucked disposable-camera prints into shoeboxes.

For us, it’s the iPhone in a back pocket and a boy who never stops moving. 

That combination is what sparked Knox in the Wild – a series that follows Knox Harrison Neumayr as he grows up between the Brahman cattle pastures of Boling, Texas, and the far-flung places that call to our family year after year.

Knox has always been drawn to the outdoors. He’s a ranch kid through and through, just as comfortable tagging along during cattle work as he is fishing a river in the Arctic. 

As he’s grown, we’ve watched something else take shape. He doesn’t just participate in these adventures; he studies them. He absorbs them. He rises to meet them with a curiosity that deserves to be preserved, not only for us but for the family history he’ll inherit someday.

Knox in the Wild is our way of doing that.

A Childhood Shaped by Cattle and Country

At its core, this project is about documenting childhood in a way that reflects who Knox is: bold, thoughtful, eager, and endlessly entertained by the natural world. These aren’t staged moments. They’re the real experiences that build a kid’s character long before he realizes it.

Some stories take place at V8 Ranch, where Knox is discovering what it means to grow up around Brahman cattle and Shorthorn cattle, both of which play a role in our family’s day-to-day life. Working cattle teaches responsibility, timing, and patience, and Knox is soaking up those lessons in real time.

Other stories unfold far from Texas, in landscapes that dwarf him, challenge him, and give him the kind of hands-on education no classroom can match. Each place leaves its mark, and capturing those moments lets us tell the story of his life as he grows into the young cowboy he’s becoming.

Preserving Family Legacy

Every parent knows how quickly the years pass. One day, a kid is small enough to ride on your shoulders. The next day, he’s big enough to lead his own heifer through the show ring. Capturing these stories lets us slow time down, even for a moment. 

They give Knox the gift of looking back on his upbringing with clarity – the ranch work, the travel, the people, the lessons, the joy of being a kid with dirt on his boots, a grin on his face, and a bright sense of adventure.

This series offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at the next generation of the Williams/Neumayr family. The ranch has always been built on a legacy of family, commitment, and stewardship to the land and all that grows from it. 

Knox in the Wild captures each next chapter as it unfolds.
