for as long as i can remember i wanted to cowboy. it is something in my dna i guess. when a young boy , 5 or less i was told i had more stickhorses than any other kid. its all i thought of going to school and growing up. nothing else mattered.
ive spent my life in pursuit of more knowledge of the horse, the cow and all things pertaining to them. ive competed in ropins, horse shows, rodeos and livestock shows. at times my family suffered from this malady of mine, but i feel some how they were proud also.
when out of high school i felt that feedlots were the high teck end of the cow business. so while going to college i worked part time in a good one. every day i learned about fat cattle and how to make them so.
when after eating feedlot dirt for 14 years my health weakened i went to ranches, and a short stint in a packing house. ive ranched for other people, and myself. ups and downs but loved every minute of it. and if i had it to do over would figgure how to get more crammed into the time at hand.
through all those years i roped. a second addiction. team roping never a world champion but a solid competitor. this book tells of incidents in the last 40 years in each of those areas. i hope you all enjoy it.
