How many other cow people do we have on here. Been around em all my life and looks like I will be headin to Florida to work on a 65,000 acre outfit!! I am excited cowboy all day and get paid for it. We sold out a couple years ago and I have been doin this and that it will be good to be back in the game again!!! Time to dust off my rope and start practicin again.

Well we are not 65,000, but 200 is more than enough for us, we run around a 100 head in a cow - calf operation. My grandfather farmed the same land till he was 84 then my dad and I took over after that. I am only 21 but that is the only job I have had my whole life. There are times that I cuss it but at the end of each day when I look back on it, I realize just how much I love it.

Heh, Heh, I'm a cow person. And sheep are people too, right

 

I hate sheep!!!!!! Due to a momentary lapse of reason I took sheep class (yes there is one of those at my college) (and yeah its an ag. school) and they had corridales of all freakin things, we pulled more than a few lol.......werent supposed to but it made our lambing checks go faster he he he ........ what theres a water bag......pull it, I kno I know bad Tom.... But I did get an A in the class

 

We run 150 head of brahman cross cows on charloais bulls. Basically a cow-calf operation.

We have day jobs though. I wish I could afford to ranch for a living, but for now its just supplemental.

 

Weekender,


I work at several ranches in south texas, round up cattle 3 or four times a year, brand, castrate, cut, sort, and drive to market... Work fences too, and have been known to work a post hole digger and t post driver more times than i cared too.. Down here in south texas, not all land is forage for cattle so in 200 acres, you can best keep about 20 cows max, not all is for the cows.... I team and calf rope as well, have ridden broncs and bulls in montana, (there will be ropin pics up soon...) I guess you can say im a weekend warrior. I have horses of my own, three of them, and i team rope whenever school lets me, My degree comes first... ropin aint a priority, that will always be there, a free ride though college on scholarship will not....

What is it they say about Montana? Where men are men and sheep are nervous!

 

I don care who ya are dats funny right der

 

I run 12 head of llama.

 

TXDeisel007, do you head or heel?

I go south everynow and then to rope. Do you rope in any associations? I go to the wildfire ranch in Saldo sometimes, and gonzales, beeville, laredo. Maybe we have crossed paths before, and we just didnt know it.

Oh, yeah. Im a heeler. I like to head too, but I just dont have a headin horse.

Later.

No cows at the moment but I have 7 head of horses and mules. I break and train during the summer. Thinking about buying a couple of buffalo calfs and feeding them out though.
