A Cowboy and a Cowman

There's a big difference!

-A cowboy wears a new Stetson with a perfect brim; a cowman wears a feed store hat he got for free two years ago.

-A cowboy wears new Wranglers and pretty western shirts; a cowman wears stained brown Dickies or, in our case, faded Carhartt overalls.

-A cowboy wears lace-up ropers; a cowman wears whatever was on sale.

-A cowboy dreams of ridin', ropin' and rodeoin' while he's working; a cowman prays he doesn't have any ridin', ropin' and rodeoin' while he's working.

-A cowboy can tell you the price of saddles, tack and horses at the local auction; a cowman can tell you the prices of steers, heifers, cows, corn and tractors for the last five years.

-A cowboy can tell you if it rained at the ropin' the other night; a cowman can tell you how many inches of rain he's had this month and how much more or less he needs.

-A cowboy drives a 1999 Ford Powerstroke dually with all the trimmings; acowman drives a 1975 F-150 he paid $75 for at a junk yard.

-A cowboy has a dinner plate belt buckle on a lambskin belt; a cowman uses a haystring because he used his belt to tie a calf to put it in his truck.

All I need to know about life,
I learned from a Cow.

  Wake up in a happy mooo-d.

Don't cry over spilled milk.

Seize every opportunity and milk it for all it's worth.

Never take any bull from anybody.

Black and white is always an appropriate fashion statement.

Don't forget for cow-nt your blessings every day.

And remember, life is easier when you take the bull by the horns.
