Well, I can't even move without that cup of coffee, I just don't want dressing in bed. Try this. You don't dress in bed. Well, it's just something that gets in your blood and that anybody that tries it and stays out for very long will get in your blood and it's just something you just have to do. It's a way of life. It's not just a job. It's a whole way of life and you've got to love it to stay in it. It's just love. That's all it is. My job. You know, you know the front desk. You know, it is. I'm not round the road. Thank you. Thank you, Joe. That's great. Bowling. Company around your granddad. Thank you, Joe.
That looks good. All the rangers will get up about four o'clock to go get the horses. The rest of the crew will get up somewhere around five. Breakfast is at five thirty. Right after breakfast we go out and catch horses. Everybody saddles up and we're gone. Get in there. Get out of here. Get in there. Got something. Get in there. It's a chase.
Oh, you want to go back? How are you, man? Pretty good. Got one more. Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Where's it? He lives on horse. There's a lot of people in the world that would trade everything they got to do that. Horse-t钱, good horse under you. Sun coming up. Beautiful scenery. Spurried candy. Little cool risk eye maybe. Here's this.
It just makes all the hurry up to what not a feather has to go through worse part. The American cowboy is a nature lover and he loves animals. None of them work for the money they make because it's one of the lowest paid occupations there is. The hours are long.
The heat is bad and the cold is bad. So the only way you can boil it down is that he loves his work. If you're riding a good horse, why? That feels like you're on top of the world. They're just mother nature around you, everywhere you look. Each man has six horses in his string. He takes them and treats them like his own horses. It's a little short ride. He might ride his brunk. If it's a long hard ride, he'll catch tough horse. If it's in the rocks, he'll catch his rock horse or whatever the job might be. Each man usually has a horse that's pretty well suited to the job. Any cowboy that has worked with horses a long time,
and especially if he's had some of these own horses, can get sometimes to attach to some of these horses. A horse and a man almost get to be one individual. He just becomes a part of it. Did you get to work around cattle and horses?
They've got minds of their own, and a lot of times they'll do exactly what you expect them to do. You're not working with machines that have no mind that you can control completely if a machine gets used to something that you messed up on. Yes, it's fairly dangerous. Well, I've already said before that a rope and a gun are just alike. The only one goes on and the other goes off. If you're on a real spooky, bronky horse, and have to rope something, you might get wound up in the rope, and if there's no one there to get the rope cut and get you out of it, you're in a quite a jackpot, falling is one of the most dangerous parts of horse falling with you. It would probably be the leading cause of death in cowboys as a rope.
The old cowboys must have been tough son of a gun, a lot of them never slept under a roof in their life. I think, too, that they were probably the hippies of their day, the rebels. That's what I think. In their time, people probably looked down on the cowboys and outlawed as a rebel, and that's what he was. He did what he wanted and didn't give them anybody else. But they still the same way today. They're independent son of a gun. They do what suits them. They never mean they're small, but they are very independent. They've got a mind in their own.
Just like the cattle in horses, I just tell them that they've got a mind in their own. How do you break down? No, thank you. That was sure good. Save the day, gentlemen. You alright? You OK? You alright? Not yours.
No. Blue is our big city. It's a good way to go. I do love you. But I know that you don't care. I get to lose the heartache of the year. It's a good way to go. You don't have to say no. Blue is our big city.
Blue is our big city. It's a good way to go.
Blue is our big city. And to come carrying a Mexico you're listening to the voice of Chief Calcity. The stay just by собiting for 9-minute hours. The noon day news briefs are brought to you by a third street market where a fast, nickel-feet and slow dime every time. You get the best value on all your grocery needs.
If it's a fine quality beef steak, you're looking for a good beef. We've got it. How about savings on flour for your bacon needs, whether it's within the hours of biscuits or tartis? Remember, we're the work in mass for you. Here's the livestock report. Feeder steers, 400 to 600 pounds, are going for $40 per 100 weight. Slotter steers weigh between 1,000, 50 and 1,125 pounds. They're selling at $41 and 40 cents per 100 weight. Don't forget now, there's a special this week at Quickmark. There's not a better place than Quake County to get your fourth into line bar work. We've got skyrocketing, barklers, and all sorts of firecrackers. We've got them all. And we have them at the special family time. Now it's time for tracing home. Over at the double X bar ranch, John Hanks says he's got a cow and calf. He's like a trade for an old pickup truck. So since anyone out there with a truck, it's a pretty good shape. Give John a call. Sure appreciate. I know it's why it's easy well too, because she's awfully tired riding the sound that old horse they got, all right?
Up in Roy in Harding County, there's going to be a big rodeo this Saturday. It's sponsored by the future farmers, and it's going to last all day long. If you can stand the heat, that is. It's sure it's been a long hot summer, hasn't it? Anyway, there's going to be frost riding, calf roping, and bull riding, and bulldog. It's going to be a real fun day. And the local forest, they're real tough with federal rules. But you're like a big crowd out there whooping hard for them. So y'all, come on up. There'll be a barbecue dinner, and everyone's in business. Then after the rodeo, don't forget about the dance. But a fine band coming down from the ramp home. You can dance to your favorite music. This band, by the way, I heard them play before. They can do all of them old dance, too. And I guess they can play some of the more rocking roles things, too, so young yet. So this Saturday in Roy, there's a rodeo, a barbecue dinner, and a dance. So come on in to town, and make a nice day of it all. Well, let's have some more music. We'll start out with a pick hit from 1972. Rex Allen Jr. Singh, cheer drop in my heart. It's pretty hard to get lost, but he's all tied to you.
This is that long, isn't it? I'll say that till when they have these bruising up, I'll cry at the station later. You're right, man. Let's go. Come on in. Come on in to my heart. Yeah, yeah. You should be in the room. Hey, Carol, bring the whole bag here. Excuse me, I'm opening the water tank. Relax. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, no, no. Don't get to say it to me. I don't think it is. We might get on that drive. It's going to keep an up. It is three or four. This is the same. They were different. In the way they lived. This bar here it's in. The bar has a lot of fun around here. It's fun to go around. You see nothing. There's a lot of fun around here. It's fun to go around. You see nothing. It's fun to go around. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. We're gonna pull out there, see. Spray. Just leave the bulls in here and bend the cows right there. And the way they're gonna walk their campers and all we'll bring up on this evening. We'd like to go that next those guys in there anyway. We'll go out here and see if we can. It is always hot and dusty and gin in the branding corals.
We never seem to get any rain before branding time. Once we get into the pins and start the branding, we use a two-million horseback dragging the caves up. And usually either three or four sets of what we call flankers. There's a man to do the branding, there's a man to do the dehorning, and one to do the castoration, one to do the vaccination. And with the crew like that, once we start, we average about two caves a minute. You get 350 calves in the crew. I know you gotta get it done and just start getting it. Well, that's when it gets fun. It's when things really start clicking. When the ropers are hitting and they got a calf there about every 20 seconds or something like that and hitting the ground with everyone, I'm just like they're supposed to be and just keep keep that up for three, four, five hours. However long it takes.
Well, that's when it really gets good because everybody is on their toes jumping and they know it got to be there because somebody also has to wait a moment. Oh! Ah! Ah! Ah! Wait, right, make a little move. Hey, I'm sneaker at that. You are mine. Oh, thank you. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Everybody do it. We're at the back of the way. Take the walk. Walk with me behind you. Just stick it out. Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Don't touch it. Are you feeling it? Don't let it. No, I want nothing to say.
What? Don't kill me, Dad. You have a good moment back. Thank you, Dad. Where? I don't think I could stand to see too many people. I was raised in a small town and even in that small town I got tired of the people. The people out here are completely different than your city folks. The hardest big is your hat. And I just couldn't see living with all those people. People passing on the streets every day, shoulders are shoulder. And nobody's stopped to say hello. The world's strangers. There's nothing there for me.
No way. Oh I see something here. Oh!
He's taking me four-hour drive up there. He's on yours. Right? Oh! Is that one of your favorite past times, Jack? Mm-hmm. Where now? Oh! I'm a cowboy, I guess. I'm obsessed with it. I can't. Well, my whole life is cowboys, cattle and horses. And that's all I'm interested in. I like music and a lot of things, but my main interest in life is what I do. Days off, I'll be painting cowboys or open steers or whatever. I'm not interested in anything else, nothing else suits me.
That's a little fun. A little. Okay, I'm gonna be stuffed. In a brown gin. Get some drinks now. Okay. I don't try to leave face mail.
I don't. Don't do it. Come on, guys. This? Don't do it. See you all the time. Just come after next day. That was great. New Clop! Weird будут? Weird будут? Weird будут? Weird будут? Weird будут? Weird будут? Weird будут? Weird будут? Weird будут? Weird будут? Weird будут? Weird будут? Weird будут? Weird будут? Weird будут? Weird будут? Weird будут? Weird будут? Weird будут? Cowboy heaven would be a beautiful country. We have lots of cattle, lots of horses,
and the best cowpunters in the world to work with. Yeah. Open Brandon, gatherin' a bee. Yeah. Yeah. What you gonna say? That would be a cowboy hitter. Woohoo! I am the rancher ant, I am the UVB. Yeah! Yeah! Lyona rancherita, y alegré verencia, y alegré verencia! Deboinar tu exhaustion, como los Susa han rancherot y los comienzo de la nana y los acabo de cuero
de ser sueldo y el sueldo y el sueldo y el sueldo y el sueldo y los comienzo de la nana y los acabo de cuero y los acabo de cuero y el sueldo
