To see these men at work during the fall weaning season is like
watching a live choreographed show. A cowboy and his horse can
guide a single cow through a sea of cattle with ease while the rest
of the cowboys hold the herd. They sort the calves off the cows in
corral alleys, boiling with choking dust making it hard to see, but
somehow they don’t miss a cut. As the trucks are loaded for the
rancher’s annual pay day, the cowboys place their bets, guessing
the weaning weights of the cattle. Pride is the only wager with the
winner receiving an approving nod from his colleagues.
