She best be a real schiett eater.

If they post long enough they betray themselves as counterfeits of the image they seek to portray, just by their choice of words.

Does this mean that Elk might be a sheep herder in real life?

noun

1. a person who drives cattle or sheep to market.
2. a dealer in cattle.

Nothing to smile about, it denotes a fellow that moves stock along a stock route. I would have thought it peculiar to Australia.


...or England, which could explain his self perceived superiority with the English language, you know...because you lot don't speak it!

I'm not putting down drovers. Just the poster's use of the word. Generally speaking, in America a drover is the boss of the large cattle drives of the mid 1800's.

Kind of surprised he didn't start conversing in Tagalog to shew how above you he is, seems to be about his style.

Still used here, and there are plenty of fellows locally that move stock around here.

I’ll remind you that this idiot claims to be from TEXAS, which is why I called him out as a fake when he kept addressing people as “pal”.

Drover is a perfectly acceptable word but was replaced by “ cowboy “ over a century ago.....
In Texas.

You may be on to something as far as him being British.

Yeah, Stuart. I was privileged to take a few meals with one of your cattle ranchers from the Snowy Mountains when we stayed at the same hotel in Ballarat. They were “ rope versus whip “ type of conversations with each of us learning more about them.

No just means he's real young and still living at his daddies house.

Hahaha.

Gordon, nice to see you post again. I hope you are doing well.

Word of warning...Australians absolutely CRINGE when you lot refer to our stations and farms as "ranches", I truly cannot express the antipathy that is viewed with.

So basically you would write that as "I met a couple of your cow cockies in Ballarat and spent some time bullshitting about cattle".

Doing fine RA. Raining a lot up in this area.

Impossible to go anywhere these days to get away from the children.

figure he's about 27 if the 91 is to designate the yr he was born, probably educated beyond his means, you can have all the education in the world and still be a dumb chit.

That's could be the truth Roger and he's reading a lot of old Texas history books.
Of course lots of low fence ranches to be hunted out south/west of Fort Stockton. The Elk are very used to PU's and oil field workers and they will just stand 50' away and watch as they feed.

He may have corrected me on that....I don’t recall it being an issue. His STATION was close to, and may have joined, the one where the filming was done fo The Man From Snowy River. I think his STATION has been used in other films as he was very knowledgeable about movie making. I learned this:

There were no trick camera shots involved in the scene where the hero follows the horse herd down a steep mountainside.one of the cow cockies actually rode down it and it was as steep as it appeared on film. Most of the extras in the riding scenes came from the neighboring STATIONS and just did what they do in their line of work.

Some damn fine horsemen in your country.......riding goofy looking saddles.😀

Stock saddles are like sitting in big comfy easy chairs in comparison to those horrible things you lot insist on balancing so precariously upon...God alone knows how many have been emasculated by those damned roping horns.
Although I worked stock on horseback when I was a young tacker I like to think of horses as impending dog meat, and much prefer Toyota.
