Cowboy up! Wayne Nash recalls his adventures working on roundups.
There were several big ranches around home, and they usually turned their cattle out for long periods. From time to time, roundups would be needed to brand calves, give shots, worm the herd, or get ready for market. We didn't really brand the calves - we put a tag in their ear - but branding sounds a lot cooler. Not only that, it was a good chance to get out of school for a few days.
