The older I get, the less interested I am in winning arguments and the more interested I am in collecting good stories.
That feels like a better trade.
Hollywood taught people cowboys were reckless gunfighters.
Most real cowboys were livestock managers, horsemen, and laborers trying not to die on the trail.
The American cattle rancher doesn’t just raise beef.
He raises in mornings before the sun, tends to miles of fence that won’t fix themselves, and takes risk most folks wouldn’t touch.
All for a quiet promise:
You’ll eat today.
