As far as I know, Florida is one of the biggest calf exporting states. The citrus orchard guys can run a cow calf operation in mature trees, but do not finish them there. They ship them to the feedlot belt. It is cheaper to ship light calves to the feed than to ship the feed to the cattle. As to the original question I'd wonder if you notice the same thing I am noticing Gary which is the farther you get from the cattle states, the more the definition of cowboy varies. “What’s good for me may not be good for the weak minded.” Captain Gus McCrae- Texas Rangers

Once there I was talking to one of the uncles, he was from French Glen Oregon. He had a big hat, scarf around his neck, big handlebar mustache. They were just on there way home from the first vacation they had taken it was an Alaskan cruise, he said he didn’t feel they really fit in. I chuckled to myself, not many places these folks might fit in. Later my son went over to there place to help brand cattle, dehorn, castrate ext. The southeast part of Oregon still has cowboys, I see a few every time I go there. But never been around any that don’t take care of themselves. wws

I remember staying with Mike Corey at Moses Lake and Chad Hutsell and Sonny Riley come the days we had to gather pastures or work cattle. Good men. Not sure how far away they were but the Katich family was good to have around too when you could get them. “What’s good for me may not be good for the weak minded.” Captain Gus McCrae- Texas Rangers

Both their horses and their bulls were as rank to handle as they were to ride. Zero manners and more than a few head hunters in those strings. “What’s good for me may not be good for the weak minded.” Captain Gus McCrae- Texas Rangers

I have a son-in-law and even a young son that have this die hard belief that they are cowboys, by God they dress the part. My wife once tried to convince me that real cowboys starch their fancy embroidered jeans for a night on the town .... I politely told her that there isn't a REAL cowboy alive that would be caught in jeans that looked like that!
