Embarrassing to say this but Yellowstone tv show peaked my interest in cattle ranchers. I’ve grown to be infatuated with them, growing up on a small farm in Iowa this cowboy life is much different than I’m accustomed to. I wish there was a way I could support these people, there’s very few of them left and we have to protect their way of life or else it will be gone soon. The American cowboy is what helped shape America. It’s one of the few true past times we have left in this country. They need people on their side, important people.

Been a lot of years since I had the smell of burning hair in my nostrils while doing the whole brand, vaccinate, castrate thing. It's easy to romanticize the lifestyle. I remember getting rained on, hailed on, and snowed on, all in one day. I enjoyed the riding and cow working, but the job is a lot more than that. You've gotta be OK with being uncomfortable a fair amount. One of the old fellers I used to ride with would say; "Lots of work, lots of fun!" He had a better outlook on it than I did. It's a mixed bag IMO. I do and don't miss it. Respect to the hearty souls that carry on the tradition out in the Great Basin. Great vid.

Gerard Johnson they like every culture is hoping to preserve their niche in society just as every culture or religion or way of life before them has. The Indigenous people of this nation were systematically moved off their lands too and their freedom as people was also stolen and remains stolen as a result of cultural brainwashing and imposed restrictions that perpetuate total dependency. This; is coming our way too. The only way to reset this movement is to stop the threat and those who advocate for or defend anything associated with AGENDA 21. Yeah; the tinfoil hat folly that turns out to be factual. Use your last years in studying and promoting the concepts of applied physics; a subject that has been made to appear nerdy and over the top. Well; there is a reason for that. To keep people from thinking about it as a serious subject. Read about ELHFED, my field of research that 9 years ago I had no clue existed but decided to learn about something the most contrary to our societies norm; Applied physics, physiology and the complete study of biophysics as a discoverer and researcher; not a parrot student to try and impress anyone. Well; we’ve been deceived and lied to and that really motivated me to discover how many and how much of what we think and believe is; lies; it’s nearly everything and something from each subject has bs injected into it to homogenize modern education.

Right now people are talking about shutting down the post office because, apparently, they want one more bill coming in a month to pay Comcast or Amazon (who won't be willing to run it on shoe string like the USPS has done for centuries) or whatever fat corporate pig wins the contract, to charge us directly for delivering our medications and social security checks.

While attending college in Texas, I paid for my college education by working on a cattle ranch. The ranch had 1800 head on 3 thousand acres. On that ranch I would work cattle by branding, vaccinating, castrating, and herding them into corrals. One day the owner bought 900 head of brahma cross cattle from Florida. Well those critters had never seen a horse. They were always gathered by jeeps and 4 wheelers. When we went out to look over those wild idiots, we came over a rise and stopped to look them over. Those idiot cows threw up their heads and took off like scared deer. The jumped over ever fence and scattered. It took us 3 months to finally find the last of them. Every time we caught a few they went directly the auction. Damn how I miss that way of life. It was hard, dirty work but its a way of life worth keeping. Thank you all for keeping the ranchers life going. Just wish you all could make money doing it.

Andres Rivas I’m Scottish, so although I can ride a horse and live on a farm. It just wouldn’t feel right to me. Y’know stealing other cultures

What wonderful characters and what a great way of life, the ranchers know the land and how to look after it , they should be getting support from the us government not hassle, I always wanted to be a cowboy and would do it for nothing just feed me 😆 don’t let that way of life die

I am far from a cowboy but I can tell ya I’m not sure how this way of life was lost on most of us. I would’ve done anything to be raised in this environment. Good folk and a good simple life.

Now this is a real life. Not like most of the videos we see. Not everything goes perfect in real life.

Appreciate people like this. Not everyone wants to live on tofu. My grandfather had a farm, 100 cows and 150 pigs. Cows were three times the work. He witnessed his grandfather horned right through the chest in the barn bringing them in for the winter and still he was a farmer , different breed, tough doesn't begin to describe farmers and ranchers. When I was younger I remember he had two bulls, one we would have to cut his horns off and had a ring in his nose he was so mean, yet the second bull was like a dog, would follow you around the pasture like a pet , eat out your hand and just a gentle giant. Hard to make a living for sure, even on top of the haying and cleaning and maintaining the farm, he was the town dog catcher to make extra money. Up the road there was a farm with milk cows and as a kid atleast twice a week an Oakhurst 18 wheeler would go to that farm and pick up the milk, the win took that one over and has alot less cows and just does hay to sell, there was no money to be made any more milking cows, even with a setup farm and all, which is insane to think cause milk costs more then gas these days. This country has made it too easy to be lazy and be rewarded for it. Appreciate people like this, cause when there gone it's a lost art and a critical part of the world and life.

I think I'm going to go out now and have a cheese-Berg-er. And a shot of whiskey. Like the lady said, don't be afraid to rock the boat because they'll just sink it then. Keep on living right and free.
