I saw a man step off the side of yarder. Caught his wedding ring on something. Things came tight before his feet hit the ground. Popped his finger right off. He turned sort of grey colored right away. Also a class mate from college. His wife stepped out of a combine and hung up her wedding...

Just last week we were below 30 degrees in the morning. Yesterday it hit 80. And today is suppose to be 85. This is too big of a change too quickly. It is supposed to change slowly allowing me time to adjust. I am more comfortable in cold weather than in hot so summer is my least favorite...

I saw an ad for a ranch in this area one time that read. "This is dog killing, horse crippling country where your only neighbors are Native Americans and jack rabbits"

There is one two lane highway (#95( going north to south in far eastern Oregon. Another paved road in Idaho running into Nevada. I have been told it is not a good idea to use that road in the winter months. That is it for paved roads in the entire area. The road out to that ghost town...

I said I would write up somethings about the Owyhee. This river drains some of the biggest most desolate area in the country. The name comes from the early spelling and pronouncing of Hawaii. An early trapping expedition of the Northwest Fur Company explored this area in 1815. About a third...

It was an arrow. And he was just an actor reciting words written by someone else.

I know a guy who was living in Cody. One day he was headed up toward the park and he saw a cow moose that looked about to have a calf. He thought on his way back he might get a good picture. Sure enough there was the moose with a still wet calf. He was standing on the road taking pictures...

These cows are all old broken mouth one and done cows. I bought them at the sale. Absolutely no telling what their past history might be. Here they got run down the chute, a new brand, fresh ear tag, and a couple vaccinations. Turned out with the herd where they got fed hay every morning...

I have 5 cowboy hats. 2 felts and 3 straws. Over 90% of the time I wear a ball cap. I have 4 pairs of cowboy boots. I wear the most comfortable pair all the time, like 99% of the time. They are just about worn out. It is going to be a sad day when I finally have to give up on them.

Walking like he was seldom off a horse. John Wayne is said to have studied how Yakima Canutt (sp) walked. Yakima was a cowboy turned champion rodeo cowboy turned stunt man and stunt coordinator for Hollywood.

Oh no. I was agreeing with you. I used Yellowstone because the OP said he was an actor and it was something current which he probably could relate to.

It came out about the time I quit riding bucking horses. I was in my late 20's early 30's. I could ride the snot out of those silly machines. That made me popular with the ladies which worked out for me.

Oh no. Urban Cowboy sure had some influence. Mechanical bulls in bars. People walking around with hats on that looked like a chicken flew into the front of their hat.

Cowboys are the definition of poor. So he is probably taping them up to get a few more months out of the. And of course shows like Yellowstone have increased the popularity cowboy boots, hats, etc. Which has driven the prices up so actual real cowboys can't afford them.

It is not that they need to be crazy to survive. It is that they haven't had any human interaction. These two were ok in the middle of the herd. But off by themselves the flight or fight reaction explodes. And they figured flight in the wrong direction was the thing to do.

The gate to my place is on the west end of the field. They spent well over an hour with these two idiot cows running through the fences on the east end and swimming the river twice before the ropes came out. Of the three the one in charge is a mid 50's year old man who owns well over 1,000...

Roping was certainly not the first option.

This is an entirely different area than most on here are use to. The place where the ones who calves on time already went to is several thousand acres. There will be about 100 pairs over there by the time we are done. It is divided into about 4 sections. About once a month a cowboy will ride...

Yes. Muley cow. Maybe bruised a bit is all.

These are old one and done range cows. I avoid the real snotty ones when buying but you still end up with one or two. The whole entire herd of cows will go straight to the kill plant in the middle of August. These are the late calvers. Once they get to summer range they will hardly see a...
