for as long as i can remember i wanted horses, cows , and ropes. ime told as a little kid i had the biggest remuda of stick horses anywhere. as i grew older every thing i did was geared in the direction of the cow business. while going to college i was working part time for the tovera feeding company. both in maricopa and pheonix. i was hooked. i spent the next 40 years in feedlots, ranches and competing at ropings and rodeos. my poor family followed me from one outfit to another in that space of time. these stories are insights to that time. some funny, some sad and some are just a history lesson as i remember it. i hope you enjoy reading them as much as i enjoy writting them.
