    Around 13:30, he talks about doing this when it's minus 20 and 50 mph wind. I grew up on a Nebraska farm, and I'VE DONE THAT! OMG, that is one of my most exhausting memories. And We Couldn't Use Horses. My dad and I had to walk in 3-foot snow with a hard crust that could ALMOST hold our weight. We'd rise up almost to the top, then break through and drop to the bottom with Every step. I genuinely wanted to give up. Yet my dad was carrying a newborn calf on his shoulders. I knew he had it so much worse than I. His dedication had a powerful impact on me. I later went into the military, and that physical training was easy compared to farm life. -- You didn't say enough about the value of those dogs. I watched them throughout the video and appreciated that they were better than any dogs we had, and we had some good ones. -- I totally agree with your final statement that it is a Calling.

Where it's said golf is a short walk spoiled, the cattle drive is maybe a medium hike really enjoyed, on horseback. I noticed the way one rider's horse leaned into the gate to push it open almost without being asked. Those little dogs must have run 20 or 30 miles that day, every day.

    Wow, Eva, great content. My Daddy was a real cowboy in Southern Az in the 40's and 50's. Wrangled and broke his own horses and never missed with a lasso. On his honeymoon my mom convinced him to enter his first rodeo that was opening in the town they were visiting. He ended up winning them a shopping cart full of groceries, lol. By the time I was born he was a U.S. diplomat, so I lived a very different life. But I really loved you showing us all that life-style. Your production quality is outstanding. You look good on a horse, and nothing was more actual cowgirl than that trucker hat and when you said "I'm gonna move this gal along." If I didn't know better, I'd have thought it was your day job.

We spent 7 days there with them and they treated us like Royalty but it was hard work for sure, there were so many situations that we had to address and some of them were hilarious, like their Daughter taking us with a group of about eight up into the mountains where she lived to move some cattle to a different feeding area, and then she got us lost, yes lost lol, so we had to trek up onto this high peak so she could get her bearings, anyway we made it back to the ranch, was so much fun, will never forget it, thanks for this great video Eva, brought back so many great memories.

    Beautifully done, dear. I am a kind of cowboy myself, live and work on land my family has owned for generations, but on a much smaller scale than you see out west. I run a very small ranch, 65 acres, thirty five head of cattle or so (depending on calving season), but it is more of an eastern than western ranch. Less horses, more pickup trucks, but the work and the concerns are basically the same. You did very well moving cattle, dear. Always remember, WALK them, never make them run, 'cause if they run they are nervous or scared, and it is ten times harder to get a scared, nervous cow to do what you want her to do. Also a scared nervous cow is DANGEROUS. She can hurt you or cripple you so fast you don't even realize what's happening till it's all over.

He wasn't joking about the -20 temps with 50 MPH winds. We'd go several days to over a week where the high temp was still below zero. Currently, living in Texas, my neighbor has 2000+ acres with several hundred heads of cattle. Not the biggest or smallest ranches in Texas. I enjoy the times the cows and their calves graze close to our fence line. Sometimes I think to myself " Go on and eat that grass baby cow. One day you'll be in my belly." :)

    Eva, glad to see that you really got to experience: the agriculture of cattling; were once upon a yesterday, it was the back bone of the country. Just keep in mind that, it won't be much longer until the snow begins to fall. But in the meantime enjoy your time. That being said, have a great week and God bless amen. ❤🙂👍👌✌️👋

    This is inspiring. I'm a born American and have never done what you did in this video. I rented a horse and "rode" with a group... but there's no freedom in that or time to get to know your horse. The horses are tired of giving rides to strangers daily... it's just not the same. The gentleman you were with seems like quality and his story is very inspiring too... I might need to break some glass and make it through to the dream I invisioned as a child - on land working the earth with veg and animals, and a wife who wants the same (got that part at least!)

    I worked at a hotel in Kerrville, Texas years ago. Up in the Texas Hill Country there were still some riding cowboys and you could still hear German spoken on the streets in Fredricksburg. Lots of Germans in the Hill Country. Every German tourist that came to the hotel wanted to know where our gun stores were and where to buy Western Clothing. Greg is as terrific as you are, and as an old soldier myself, I get it. And by the way... "All hat and no cattle" is a common expression for somebody with more flash than substance.

    I grew up up in Bozeman. Bozeman was heaven back in the 70’s. My friends had horses. We rode bareback through the orchards. I barely recognize it now. Back then it was a small town with soda fountains in the drug stores. We left the house for the day with our friends and didn’t come back until dark. You look right at home on the open range. :)

    I grew up on a ranch in Alberta probably not that far from where you are. I didn't stay ranching, but I really miss it. Sometimes I'll take my holidays just to spend a week on the Ranch to help out, see the family, visit old friends. It's kind of the place I like to go when I just need a break from the monotony of city life. My goal is to eventually find a nice acreage not too far from the city, but far enough.

    As someone who been around horses and been on three ranches I'd have so much to say. There's a difference between a professional full time cowboy and being a cowboy that rides, loves moving cattle (as you found out) and lives a western lifestyle. I'm by no means a professional cowboy. Fact is that I know the cowboy life. Been around rodeo and been a PRCA committeeman ( on the committee that organizes a rodeo for an area),different areas might have very different types of rodeos. All the same events and sanctioned by the PRCA. You rode well especially for someone who doesn't had ready access to riding. But then you rodeo across Mongolia in a whole different situation.. Being a cowboy/cowgirl is more than clothes. But you earned a nicely styled hat. (Not nessarily easy.) You've done more than most who wear a. Cowboy hat. That hat shows a cultural difference too. I've worn mine since early years. A Westerner might wear western style clothing without ever working a ranch and be legit. I sense you becoming a Westerner. Congrats on a hardwon time getting the contacts, mentors, situations, tack/horses and a ranch. Couldn't have been easy! Congrats! Fine fine film by a helluva storyteller-filmmaker.

    Wow can remember being a kid and wanting to be a cow boy . Years later meant a great family on vacation and they were ranchers in Montana and Wyoming areas( had Two ranches). Spent a month every year there after . helping move cattle to the high country by horse back . Some of my favorite times camping out rough . The cowboy life is hard but oh so fulfilling. Glad you are enjoying the great out west areas of America . Cheers from Steve Stott in Sutherlin Oregon.U.S.A. 🌎😁🍻🏕

    This brings back memories for me , because I worked on a cattle station in the Australian Outback and it is an amazing life. It’s also a tough, hard and dangerous job for one is working with and around large animals and machinery , one is up before the sunrises and the work goes on until it sets , sometimes even after that. There is the heat and the cold and there are times when you have to make tough decisions for in the Outback the nearest vet is days away from you and if you are injured as I was the nearest hospitals are days away. If an animal is seriously injured or ill, one has to shoot them . I was airlifted out by the Flying Doctor Service, but that was after being transported from the paddock where the incident occurred to the homestead which was an hours drive. Then transported towards the nearest town which was three hours away, met up with the ambulance at the halfway point, then taken to the medical clinic where a nurse fresh out uni on a eight month contract cared for me until the Flying Doc arrived and picked me up and flew me to Mt Isa then transported to the hospital this took an entire day. I do miss it and that outfit you were with looks like a good mob to work for, which is important, because out in the wilderness everyone needs each other, as there is no I in team. Helicopters are used in mustering cattle as well as motorbikes and horses , which can be just as wild as the cattle as they are mustered before the cattle are, after being in the bush since the last muster. There are always the one lot of cattle that want to do their own thing , all it takes is one to lead the mob astray, you did a great job with the cattle there , slow and steady is the way to go 👍👍👍👍👍
