Makes you wonder just what all is in this old world doesn't it?snake67":1m4pp194 said:Shay and I are what I would call good friends.
We met on the plains one day whie I was directly some Merkavas out of the area and he was bringing cattle in and we have been friends since.
I have stood under that very shelter with the squeeze and worked cattle. There are a couple more large ranches on the Golan besides this one.
I have also sat in the line shack just out of the picture while Shay cooked breakfast and we burned anything we could find to keep warm as it was snowing and cold outside.
Pretty wild country that is not usually seen by the tourists.
Best to all

So did 'cowboys' originally come over to the USA from Mexico later to become the romantic, rugged metaphor?

no..............they mostly just came over and stole as many cows and horses as they could get across the river by daylight! :cowboy:
I don't think they stole a lot of sheep and goats though...........they mostly just molested them and left em here! :mrgreen:

:lol: :lol: But they did have the wheel a hundred years before the first pilgrim sat down on Plymouth Rock and said "What a trip... I need a drink..oops...we don't drink". :cry2: SA Indians had it almost 2000 years earlier but according to this had little need for the wheel in everyday life.

They could have always used it to haul off the bodies of all the folks who's hearts they cut out with obsidian knives. Enlightened society that they were! :lol2:
