Got kicked in the knee and run over by an upset momma. My body feels like I should be 20 years older. But I don't know what I'd do that I would enjoy more....

Foot rot and pink eye. As hot as we are and as dry as we are getting it wouldn't surprise me if we started see some dust pneumonia in the future though.

Lol but in seriousness not a whole lot of younger people real want the real life of cowboying.

Sulfur drugs? And LA? IF IDIOTS GREW ON TREES THIS PLACE WOULD BE AN ORCHARD !

Flanking and tying , heeling and pulling down or legging them down ? I’ve not done any of that type work for over 40 years , I used to think it would be a great life .

I neck rope them then get them on a short rope and heel them myself to pull them down. They get above about 120 pounds I don't seem to have enough wind in me any more to flank them or leg them down

Already have quite a few farmers interested, but I need to get my license first. I do understand though that most kids aren't and there are very few left.

Trying to learn it in your 40s part time while working and raising a family is tough.
