Ranch

Life in the Ranch is more fun than any other lifestyle. “I have so much fun playing with the cattle and horses and some require playing around and having fun with the animals” as I said with a smile. Riding horses is one of them because they need to move every once and awhile. Sometimes when my friend comes over we race horses but I never win. No matter what I do he still wins. It is also fun playing with the cattle. The way they react when I let the dogs loose is very funny. Life on the ranch is still better than the city life. Living on the ranch can be difficult because you are all alone with very few people helping you breed the animal. Very few times I had trouble on the ranch because of the amount of animals dying from a disease.…

The past two summers we worked on a Montana Cattle Ranch. The Stucky Ranch is one of three ranches featured in an Animal Planet documentary series titled, "The Last American Cowboy".

land proved to be a common problem for both. The conditions out in the Midwest were difficult, to say the least. The summers were harsh and dry and the winters were extremely cold. The land lacked nearby water and was not nearly as fertile as the land back in the East. For ranchers, this led to overgrazing land and a large portion of their cattle dying off in the winters in the 1890s (“Western Movement”). Ranchers were primarily located in Texas (Slatta); whereas, most Exodusters were led to…

Some of the ranchers offered a slight wage increase but not one that met the minimum in the proclamation…

things by standing up for what he believed in and what he wanted for himself, his boys, and his grandchildren when we came into his life. He made many decisions both good and sometimes, not so good.
