Utah Cattle Drive Special Episode - America's Heartland

On this three-day working vacation, the five guests were dubbed "the dudes." They came from all over the U.S. and Europe to see what it's like to be a cowboy or cowgirl for several days. The dudes rode alongside the Cox and Heaton families, driving 200 cattle from lower elevations to the summer grazing grounds just outside Bryce Canyon National Park. The annual drive continues a longtime family tradition, and gives urban guests a better understanding of life on a working cattle ranch.

I know this family personally they are amazing people

[@fredvanliew485]

I enjoyed this Ranch just after my 60th Birthday. Absolutely the real deal and one of the most memorable experiences of my life. Of course, I'm a hopeless romantic and Louis L'Amour fan!

[@michaeljayparker7790]

It was me privilege to ride with Ray and Karl Heaton on roundup down on the Arizona strip on the north rim of the Grand Canyon. I loved every second of it, and the Heaton family. It was a SAD day when Ray passed on. Good ride Ray, good ride. I miss Alton and the TIGHT community we had there. Those were the days of adventure. Thanks for welcoming our family to the community. Many meals shared with the Heaton family. God bless all.

[@TJackSurvival]

My childhood right here

[@jerrywald6481]

They cam here City Slickers...they go home COWBOYS.....fun to watch...great family tradition and so great they are sharing that with strangers.

[@Kalaswalia]

To me this collective endeavour is what makes America great.

[@gregoryj.m.8985]

Yes... family cattle ranching....part of America's history and heritage....it's really neat that they take on "greenhorns" who want to experience that way of life....I did some of that back in the 1970s up in Eastern Washington state for a Summer....and did branding as well ....plus helped around the farms in the region....it was 7 days a week..sun up to sundown.......a way of life....

[@blkcat1254]

Wish I could be there even at 66 I can still do this.

[@pi2nuna219]

Thank you, I felt like I was back in the saddle again for a short time. 🐎

[@ddonrs]

The Heaton family is a great family. It was good to see Mel Heaton in the video. Hi Mel!

[@lynndellcox7078]

Part of an American way of life in the West !! Love it and miss it

[@herdingcats3850]

This is the Real America. Not for everyone but wonderful.

[@dhcagriculture]

Really enjoyed having America's Heartland come and film our family's 3 day cattle drive. Fun times. We hope sometime to share our 10 day cattle drive which ends on our winter range on the rim of the grand canyon. Enjoy!

[@trudychilds5049]

Are you folks related to Charlie Heaton, my favorite veterinarian?

[@donovanzebeda1789]

This is 10 years ago, does anyone know if the still do it till this day?

[@MusicEvryDay]

Did you have fun?

[@Magician12345]

i dont get it where does it say anything about monsanto?

[@aitornavarro6597]

I know this off topic. I don't know much about horse breeds but is a cutting horse and an american quarter horse or simply quarter horse the same kind of horse? I've looked it up online but the information is unclear and unsettling. Thanks! :)

[@jasonbutler6679]

The American Quarter Horse is a composite Breed meaning the breed was originally developed by more than one breed of horse. The cutting horse refers to a term used for describing a discipline or event that the horse is used for. That meaning the horse can be any Breed providing the horse can perform that function.

[@aitornavarro6597]

Jason Butler Thanks for the insight! What is the most common breed used for cutting purposes, functionalities?

[@jasonbutler6679]

Generally the American Quarter Horse, although the breeding in the American Paint Horse and Appaloosa have been using Quarter horses as a standard to cross with. This has allowed the other breeds to become as strong as the Quarter Horses in these areas; in that, I recognize the Quarter Horse still on average is the breed to recogn with in the main events especially with the efforts to recognize and publicize efforts to better the breed through genetics and research.

[@glogenedelrosarioparagas]

wats up brother zemen this is brother gene from the marikina mormon do you still have your cattle farm i might give you a remarkable sheep dog

Thank you Monsanto for sponsoring this show. I will not watch it.

[@trudychilds5049]

Just shows how narrow minded you are.

“It’s enough to rattle the sturdiest of cowboy’s nerves”. No it’s not, sturdy cowboys do stuff like that all the time only city folk get all nerved up and then think everyone else must be as well. Don’t try to emasculate all men, as real men are a sturdy bunch and can handle hard work and stress.

[@CountySheriff2010]

Monsanto, one of the biggest GMO producers in the world??? Are you kidding??? Google BT cotton and see what they did with it to the cotton farmers of India. They are a heinous, big agra company. Wake up America's Heartland!!!

[@trudychilds5049]

So because they support this video and agriculture, we shouldn't watch it or what?

[@Rc4x4trucks]

Nothing compared to Australia

[@shaynewhite4545]

it's like Australia how is it different

[@heidiwilshusen4500]

You lost me at Monsanto... Unsubscribe ng

[@c.u.2410]

I CANT BELIEVE YOU WOULD SUPPORT MONSANTO. NO BUSINESS FROM ME

[@theresapetekiewicz1788]

I don't understand putting two small children on a horse without a third person Pony the horse. I would be afraid if the horse should stumble or spook or take off for any reason those two small children riding in one saddle would not be able to handle it. How did the small children know how to steer the horse or tell the horse what to do. I think those two small children were too young to go on a trail ride like this. Also the adult that had the small child behind him in the saddle to me that is also very dangerous and very risky. Small children should stay at home.

[@hillert1967]

OR THE SHOULD HAVE SOME KIND OF BABYSITTER TO WATCH OUT FOR THE KIDS.....I AGREE

[@dustinsonnier5602]

I understand where you’re coming from I’ve been riding horses by myself since I were a youngster and had my own horse at the age of 5 and never had no trouble with any horse as a kid by the time I was 10 I already had enough experience to be left alone with a horse and it was trustable enough to be left alone with me

[@featheredfoothillfarm]

not much respect for parents that'd put their little ones on a horse's back for a cattle drive without a helmet, sheer ignorance.

[@luisalbertomatosdiaz1475]

I dont know where are you from, but none rides horses with helmets you idiot. This is a life style and it seems you are a city slicker and ignorant yourself.

[@ianlanders1281]

helmets riding horse?

[@mikesimmons1456]

Damn really

[@robertmoore1123]

They make Western hats that are safety helments also so who is to say these aren't what there wearing

[@dustinsonnier5602]

Jane Snar really you do know just like Dogs Horses can be trained to take care of kids too

[@joebourdeau3188]

it looks terrible!! very bad look!

[@trudychilds5049]

What looks terrible?

[@YFZMoto]

@@trudychilds5049 No Video Games and Traffic :) he would miss that very much lol
