A Little Cattle Working

I'm not a cowboy but I have been around cattle a lot as a part of my past profession.  But when my friend Buddy Lane invited Bev and me out to their spring cattle working, we were all in.  Now, I didn't work any cattle myself, but it was impressive to see the real deals work cattle the old cowboy way.  Buddy, his son Cody and a group of real working cowboys came together to get the spring branding, castration, and vaccinating done on a ranch just west of town.

I got to talk to Buddy's ninety plus year old Dad and meet the famous cowboy Ty Murray, nine time world champion PRCA cowboy.  In real life he is just a polite, down to earth guy that goes about his life like we all do.  We had a great meal and it was an honor to be included!

Rope em, drag em and work em.... the old, authentic way!

Ty Murray isn't just a professional cowboy in the arena, he's the real deal in person.
