Thick leather leggings known as batwing chaps protect Kyle Stone’s legs from the brush on Arizona’s 240,000-acre (97,000 hectares) ORO Ranch. Like all other cowboys, he’s responsible for providing his own equipment?chaps, spurs, ropes, saddles, bridles, a range tepee, a bedroll, and tools to shoe the eight to ten horses assigned to him. Once he’s out on the range, he’ll be on his own. “You need an individual who can get himself started and get the work done,” says ranch manager, Wayne Word. “With cowboys, it’s not like you’re right there looking over their shoulder.”

A fourth-generation cattleman, Bret Reeder has had a Wild West mustache ever since he grew enough whiskers to create one. Careful grooming, done daily, turns stray stands into a curiosity that the grandkids love to grab. “If you sleep on it, it’s kind of a bad hair day,” Reeder says. “I re-wax it every morning.” In addition to running cattle on the family spread in Utah, he shoes horses, works as a pickup man at rodeos, and maintains the county’s cattle guards on rural roads. Making ends meet “takes quite a few jobs,” he says.

Chase and Clay Sligar, teenage ranch hands now living in Nevada, have moved at least a couple dozen times as their parents searched for greener cowboying pastures in one place after another. A self-confessed adrenaline junkie, Chase (at left) plans to follow in their footsteps. “There ain’t nothing better than roping something, your horse starts bucking, and everything goes to haywire,” he says. Clay has a different kind of life in mind. “Someday I’d like to own a ranch. Go out and play cowboy. Not have to work on all the long, hot days?just when it’s nice.”

Shining with buckaroo silver, Nathan Fluter wears his weekend best to watch friends compete in a rodeo in Jordan Valley, Oregon. Now in law school in Missoula, Montana, Fluter worked as a horse wrangler on a ranch in his spare time during high school and college. “I want to do agriculture law so I can work in a smaller town,” he says. “I’m more of a ranch person, but I guess necessity has made me a city person right now.”

Linc Bundy moves into a range tepee during roundup at the ORO Ranch in Arizona, far from his wife and three children, but he sees sunrises and sunsets, and he rides through singing grass under the open sky every day?a cattleman’s paradise.

Though tough at times, the cowboy life has its rewards. Mennonites Marcel and Jane Troyer run their own herd when they can lease land near Pueblo, Colorado, and Marcel also takes temporary ranch jobs. They hope to teach their sons the value of an honest day’s work and the sense of accomplishment it brings.
