I grew up in Arizona and have a lot of buddies that are cowpokes.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've known a lot of cowboys and a few cowgirls. They're, by and large, some of the smartest, funniest, most courteous, generous, and hardest-working people you'd ever want to know.
I know a lot of cowboys and I've done a little work on ranches with cattle, and those people become your friends, and keep their word.
I'm from the Midwest. We like to know who our neighbors are.
My brother Jim and I spent many wonderful summers working on dairy farms in Wisconsin owned by Mom's cousins, and as members of our local Boy Scout troop.
We had three cows and a goat. People from New York and L.A. are like, 'Oh my gosh, that's a farm!' But people in Tennessee are like, 'That's not a farm.' I've never milked a cow or anything like that.
I have three cows, and I'm looking forward to more in the future, so I'll have a little herd.
The truth of the matter is that I live on an isolated cattle ranch in the middle of Oklahoma and that's not going to change.
We don't have milk cows. People have so many stereotypes of people from where I come from - Oklahoma. We don't ride around in covered wagons, either.
I'm a regular dude from Kansas who grew up with pigs and cows.
I'm a cowboy who never saw a cow.
