No offence to anybody but this is how it is around here.
The last pair of cowboy boots I bought cost $500. Even though im not walking on rocks or pavement if I wore them everyday I would have them wore out in 6 months. For this reason I only wear them on holy days.
I watch town guys steer wrestling in $50 shirts and it just makes me cringe at the waste. I own one $50 shirt and it only gets worn on special occasions.
BTW I got married in work boots. No way I would wear my good riding boots in town on all that pavement.
I wish my wife could make good pants like those hutterite women can
I buy wrangler jeans or walmarts knock off wranglers<rustlers> because of the single inseam that doeasnt chaff like the regular double stitched inseams do when your riding.
My wife knits my socks and my grandmother knits my gloves and scarf.
I buy my jackets from UFA because they are the most bang for the buck.
My horse tack is all custom made. Cheap riggins cost more in the long run.
Being a good cowman <business man>doesnt necessarily make you a good ranch hand.
Being a good ranchhand doesnt make you necessarily a good horsehand.
Being a good horsehand doesnt mean you know anything much about cows.
People around here all respect and treat women pretty good. It just blows me away how some on here talk to women.
As far as the "quitness" comments about ranchers<whatever a rancher is sapposed to be> well that comment really made me laugh.
If I was to show up at a branding with a camera they would think I was, well it would raise eye brows to say the least:lol: .
Half the people that live within 10 miles of me dont own or want a TV. Out of these people its only one of them has the internet and I promise you she isnt talking on forums :lol:
