Howdy. Just like the Vaquero/Buckaroo/Cowpuncher video I have learned a bunch from this one. I will say that it's not my best work and I definitely know a better way to make this video. So stay tuned, because I'm going to post a video that is bigger and better than this one. #BroomtailCountry #BroomtailCavvy
It saddens me to my very core that the western tradition is dying in the places where it was once strongest, god bless america and god bless the american cowboy
"If you're in Utah....you're mostly likely gonna be mormon." You're not wrong hahaha. Right on spot lol. Proud Utahn and proud of my western heritage. My families been here since the Mormon pioneers ventured out west in the 1840s.
Since day one, circa 1972, Earliest memories listening to the Lone Ranger on the radio and watching Gunsmoke, Maverick, and Paladin on TV. Pictures reveal a cowboy hat as a toddler and various cowboy Halloween costumes through many years. As a teenager, the yearly rodeo brought anticipation and something looked forward too. In school we learned of the rugged mountain men and Louis and Clark expedition that traveled through the area where I lived in Washington State. The enlistment after high school in the Army opened doors to follow friends around on the armature Rodeo circuit for two years on weekends. After the army, dreams of wide open spaces and glamorized cowboy life led me through Amarrillo TX. I would move there a year later. 25 years ago seems like yesterday. I have never owned a horse a saddle or a cow but the tough, rugged, individual, self reliance of the American cowboy spirit is deep within me. My character, my roots, and my convictions are deeply rooted in the spirit of the American Cowboy. California Oregon, Washington, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, and Texas were my stomping grounds and the land runs in my veins. The pioneer and mountain men tales have been my eat and hard backbreaking sweat and blood to carve out a slice of heaven here on earth has been my drink. But the American Cowboy is my daily attitude and my greatest inspiration and influence.
Drove buckrake bunching 1st cutting hay so it could be trucked to Jordan, Mt, most remote town in the US. On the Spring Wagon for the S Ranch, 3000+ calves over 200+ sections on the Crow Reservation. On the gut table at the Midland Packing Plant. Overloaded hauling cattle from Wallowa, Ore to Missoula, Mt on US Hwy 12. Can't rope worth s... Can I maybe be a cowboy.
Cattle owners by definition are not cowboys. They may have a job of caring for cattle, but that does not mean they are cowboys. For example, a cattleman could have the job of putting out a fire on their ranch, but that doesn’t mean they’re a fire fighter. I do get what you’re saying though. Cowboying is one if their many responsibilities so yes they are a “cowboy.” Yet they are not a “cowboy” because their job of being a cattleman is more important than their cowboy job and therefore supersedes their cowboy status. I really hope I explained this the way historians view cattlemen.
You forgot to add Florida to this list. The 12th on beef producing states list. "Florida Cracker" derived from cowboys cracking whips over cows heads to move them in the swamplands.
I am in highschool and am wanting to become a cowboy and live in Washington I ride horses and things but know no cowboys really so any advice on becoming a cowboy.
Your videos are entertaining and interesting. Keep them coming. However , had me until you mentioned Oklahoma. “Wannabe” has that negative connotation to it and is highly inaccurate, given a local perspective. Texas vs. Oklahoma is a football confrontation and often ends there for the most part, although many Texans see okies as their “little brother” of sorts. From my view, in terms of cowboying, the two states are so extremely alike in style and culture they are one in the same in that regard. The clear difference being land size. Oklahoma is greatly smaller than Texas, so the mega ranches found in Texas are not always found in Oklahoma, with the exceptions being the Stuart Ranch in southern Oklahoma, the Drummond Ranch up in northern Oklahoma, or the famous 101 Ranch in the days of old. Surely, opinions vary. Beau Central Oklahoma
Since when is Montana Buckaroos? that is more the Great Basin as for Oregon pretty much the whole damn state outside Portland and a thin Coastal Strip is cowboy country, some of the biggest ranches in the country like JR Simplot's vast ZX Ranch, Whitehorse Ranch etc. I strongly suggest you never step foot in Oklahoma after your comment.
As a dessert rat buckaroo who worked for ZX, Whitehorse and been all over the Catlow Valley, family ranch is in Ft.Klamath, pushed cattle through the Klamath Marsh as well as the Devils Garden, pulled calves on first calvers in Missoula to the 25 outside McDermott and burned lots off mule and elkhide off the horn I'm definitely in agreement with Dean. Your statement about Oregon definitely needs to be reevaluated. I like what you're trying to do, but I'm curious about who or where you're getting your info. Keep it up.
Florida? It should at least get a mention. I don't have the numbers in front of me but I know Florida produces a whole lot MORE cattle than most of those other states. The Spanish introduced cattle into Florida decades before the southwest so the first American cowboys were actually in Florida. They actually called them Cow Catchers.
Howdy.

Thank you. I still do it in California
The Vaquero is alive and well in Mexico.

Your videos are getting better, just not there with the editing and narration yet. I appreciate the homage to the life though.
A lot of cattle owners would object to that definition that they are not "cowboys"

Please give me some time for my rebuttal.
Montana is a big mix between the two styles buckaroo and puncher alike

Florida on the way!
Your voiceover doesn't match up with the video lol
I know, one of my beginning videos where I was still learning. Still learning currently
Who cares he’s giving some great information.
You gotta be a gunsel to notice something like that
