[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1747058, member: 6291"] If I don't know what to tell you fence. It's the way I grew up as did a lot of other people. When I was young the aunts or wives brought meals out to the men/ boys no matter if we were on the ranch or the rig. In O&G a ton of business was done at breakfast at 6am or lunch at 11am. It was common to have large jobs catered as most were not able to go home and really appreciated a good meal. Just last week I worked cows with a friend and one of the wives brought lunch for every one. They always stop and every eats and talks. They do it on most on jobs that go through lunch. When we burn, some one always brings lunch out. An older friend of mine tells some cool stories about working for a neighboring ranch as a kid. He and his brothers would leave the house before daylight with a string or horses and change of clothes to work cattle. They worked the cattle then cleaned up and changed. They were expected to sit with the family and eat supper, then do it again tomorrow. Every one in that family worked cattle, male female, young and old. Then they all cleaned up and put jackets and dresses on for a big meal. It was a formal deal. They had extra jackets for all the boys or any one else who didn't have one. He considered it a huge honor to work for them. They expected a lot but paid the best by far and treated their people really good. [/QUOTE]
