Note From the Author

The contents of this book are 40 years of working in the livestock industry. I've been involved in just about every phase of the Cattle Industry with working in feedlots, on ranches, and even 16 months in a large packing house. Along with this is a lifetime of rodeoing and jackpot ropings. The sorties told here are short snippets of the day-to-day work and the people we worked for. I tried to maintain the vocabulary and the flavor of the day, so I hope the reader finds more entertainment here. I sure had fun writing it! A lot of the stuff here deals with the great cowboys and cowgirls I've crossed paths with... without them, I wouldn't have anything to say. Enjoy!
