I have associated with cows and horses for all my 70 years, except for 3 years in the army and 10 months driving a damn dump truck. Raised on a cow ranch in northern Cal, went a cowboy college( Cal Poly) graduated from the U S Army. Got drunk, got married, shod horses to pay the bills. The bank and I owned a couple hundred cows. Shod horses to support wife, kids and cows. Got divorced and had to sell cows lol. Learned to build custom saddles and ran cows for other folks. It has been a great life. Ed
