Great stories fellas!
Never was much of a cowboy but Ive been running around with the likes of you crazy son of a guns all my life. I gave up trying to be one a long time ago though!
Only thing I accomplished from trying to be one is nearly getting myself killed by a bull back in high school!
Im like that Willy Nelson song. "My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys". I've just decided to leave the cowboyN to you guys.....................the cowboys!

The one thing that has always impressed me about good cowboys, their dogs, and horses is how easy they can make a job look.
I've witnessed time and again people trying to pen wild cattle, bad bulls, find and catch loose show calves, wile using vacation time, missing days of work, tearing up their trucks and four wheelers, breaking down fences, getting themselves hurt, (the list could go on forever) only to get frustrated and call out a local cowboy.
These guys drive up, mount up, hiss the dogs once and in less than an hour are usually done!
Woulda been a whole lot cheaper and less painful in some instances to call a cowboy to begin with!
