Not sure....
sorry
im sure its A haha just from all the westerns ive watch but i might completely wrong
I live in Texas, and I'm pretty sure that now it's option B.
Cowboys didn't always strike it rich because of certain circumstances or occurrences.
i know thats why i said A
A, Cowboys where hired by Ranch owners to transport cattle.
But have you taken into consideration famines or droughts whatnot?
The only option I'm 100% sure about is B...
that didnt stop the rancher for them trying to the cattle
But it wasn't a sure fire job was it?
That's what a "cow" boy was
I live in Texas too
But are you 100% sure they did that all the time? All year round, with no other duties?
No... I was not there
I'm not saying they didn't do drives, but is that all they do?
They also have to sell cattle, maybe bringing in male Bulls for breeding, take some to the slaughterhouse whatnot. You get the idea?
ok
Hope this is helpful, laters!
