Men were a lot tougher then. Now we gave post hole diggers , skid steers, large barns, cabbed tractors. These old guys could work us under the table

Hi I very much enjoyed this fine movie but I was wondering, does anyone out there have a clue what kind of song the cowboy with the guitar is singing?

great to see vaccinations done on the ranch instead of in a slaughter Auction catch

Put out by Ford Motor Company. A good job, but you see how "progress" is measured by Ford, the number of Ford cars and trucks and tractors in use.

I used to enjoy watching a good Rodeo. Bull dogging, calf roping, and bronco busting all showed off a cowboy's necessary skills (not to mention strength and bravery!)
Bull RIDING, however, is just plain stupid, and I have no respect for those that do that. -
The first American rodeo took place in Veracruz Mexico in 1524.

US cowboy. America is more than one country.

When I was a kid we had all of this...barns, land, cows, horses, tack, rodeos. When I was 8 years old my father and grandpa sold off all the cows and horses and tack for the land to be farmed. Well it was farmed for a few years, then farming went to $h!t. Now the land sits dormant with only grass growing on it. The barns have fallen down and the fence all gone. Just to start all over, I have to take out about a $50thousand dollar loan to build a cheap, substandard barn and put up fence with no one to help me. 1 fence post cost 3-5 dollars each. Wood for the barn will be through the roof for just the frame. And that cheap wood from Lowes will probably rot in 20 years. To buy one saddle it cost over $500. To buy one good ranch truck at least $30,000. Good luck with your American dream folks. Mine is dead and gone.
