I happen to love working cow calf operations but that particular list only compare momma cow herds inside of a geographical boundary and like FHF points out counties vary in land mass greatly. Looking at that list I see a few counties where you'd likely never see a man on a horse but lots of feed bucket operators. There is nothing wrong with that, but it's a far cry from cowboyin.

Grandson often ropes the head then gets rope slack behind them and trips them to dr by his self. Lots of cow calf guys that dont do that stuff here. He does what he calls day work on the weekends. They will hire him to catch one. If its an animal that needs stretched out his wife heels them. My daughter baby sits. Sometimes he splits the money with one of his buddies.

One of my favorite kid rock songs provides a much different definition of a cowboy. Jim
Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.
