Cowboys & Ranchers

Cowboys and Ranchers Cowboys may love their horses but it’s the ranchers love the cows The cowboys know it’s their job to keep them critters safe and pay and found depends on their not coming to bad ends But you won’t catch a cowboy with a soft light in his eye counting again by one and ten every head in the holding pen And ranchers ain’t so likely when the summer flies are high and the herd a scattered mess to wish them all in a warmer place than the sun-baked August West
The term “Pay and Found” is an old ranch expression which refers to pay, room and board

Looking forward to connecting with the poets, musicians, cowboys and ranchers at the Stony Plain Cowboy Gathering this weekend in Stony Plain Alberta. If you are in the neighbourhood stop on by!
