What is a Cowboy? (National Day of the Cowboy)

Being cowboy is more than just wearing a hat and boots. We are very blessed to cook for some great cowboys out there.
In this video we sat down with some of the crew of the Poison Spider Cattle Co. outside Casper, WY. We asked them what it means to be a cowboy. This also goes out in celebration of National Day of the Cowboy which occurs the 4th Saturday in July.
Y'all enjoy and keep it cowboy!

[@stratovani]

A cowboy is an honest man saying honest words and living an honest life. You don't have to wear a hat or ride a horse to be a cowboy. The words you say, the bond you keep, and the life you lead say so.

[@EJGentleman]

Great video, Awesome life lessons, simple and straight. My favorite quote "Character is what you do when no one is looking." Thank the cowboys for all they do for us.

[@CowboyKentRollins]

Thanks for taking time to watch

[@vitara8124]

the National Day of The Cowboy is a long overdue tribute to the true builders of America. our Cowboys, the ranchers, farmers, the settlers of this great country are the unsung heroes who feed us...and who exemplify through hard work, poor pay, and good old fashioned courtesy, honesty, and caring for a way of life that SUPPORTS us all. HATS OFF TO THE COWBOY!

[@terribethreed8464]

That's just exactly what it is. I'm going to be 64 in September & that's what I was taught by all the old cowboys I trailed behind when I was a kid. I've missed that life ever since I left home. It stays with you your whole life.

[@CowboyKentRollins]

Thanks so much for taking time to watch

[@TheLegend-gj6bw]

How can someone who hasn't grown up in the country and don't know country folk, find them? I was raised a town kid and have little to no culture, my whole life I've wanted to be a "cowboy" or a ranch hand but my family and I never knew anyone who could teach me the things I wanted to know. How can I find good friends like you and other country folk?

[@MrDakotaThunder]

@@TheLegend-gj6bw Apply online or make some phone calls to ranches in your state or another one. They just need a hard working pair of hands I'm sure.

[@hanginburrito3341]

Really nice video, Kent. Great to hear men giving thanks to the Lord!

[@CowboyKentRollins]

We don't take it for granted, our lifestyle or the blessing we get

[@richardrehschuh5241]

These guys are simply incredible. If we had Cowboys running the country we would be just fine. The honor that shines through these fine men goes beyond words. Thank You Shannon and Kent for showing us a part of our society that I didn’t know still existed. God Bless every one of you.☝🏻

I Love ❤️ this video! I have always been a cowgirl at heart even as a child and have been fortunate enough to have worked on a cattle ranch with my first husband in northern Arizona, back in 1974. I consider it the happiest, most peaceful time of my life. Thank you so much for helping to dust off some of my best memories!! ❤️

[@lessmiles1]

One of the best videos I have seen in a long time. Keep listening to your producer she seems to really know what she is doing. God bless all the crew.

[@CowboyKentRollins]

Thanks William, I listen to her, respect her and love her

[@kengamble8595]

You know Kent, I've been on this earth for more than sixty four years and back about forty years ago I had someone ask me that very same question ! I was working cattle at the time and I really didn't have a good answer, because there are so many words that could be said, but SO many that CAN'T be said, that have to be felt ! These boys know what I'm saying, I can see that. I've worked a lot of different kinds of jobs through the years, one thing I know for truth, you don't have to be a cowboy, to have a cowboy heart! Thanks for sharing and take care.

[@CowboyKentRollins]

Very true my friend, thanks for watching

[@usngunr]

I can so relate to this sentiment as a 20 year sailor. Being at sea is a lot like being out on the range. You want to meet the Good Lord face to face, that's where you're going to do it. Out there on the ocean, when things go south, it's you and your maker, and you two get to chat pretty danged often. It's a lifestyle, not a career. 100%

I was raised up on a farm and so much of this is familiar. I was taught to say less and do more. To say what you mean and mean what you say. Treat your animals good and work smart with equipment. I rank the day I made hand on my granddaddy’s farm as one of the best days of my life. God bless and thank you for making this video.

I’m a black cowboy from ETX. These kind of men i look up to as if they my brothers, uncles, grandfathers or even dads. No matter what skin color. They sound just like the men in my family or friends. I love you guys & keep up the great work. We need more MEN like you guys. Specially in this world today 🤙🏽

Thank you for this video, Kent! My dad was a vaquero (cowboy) overseas, and watching this video took me back to when he and my uncles used to huddle every evening to talk about there work on my grandmother's farm. God Bless!

[@darlenehoover6577]

This world could do with a lot of getting back to the basics that help us all. I miss living around cowboys. I did as a kid and I never forgot it. And always long for it. God bless you all and may you never think of yourself as greater, but always believe that other's are.

I can relate to the appreciation for the land, the love and caring of the animals, the gratitude for the beauty of it all. Not to mention the solid values. The photographer/cinematographer is very talented. Beautiful photographs and beautiful subjects. I truly enjoyed this from the bottom of my heart.

The respect and honesty these guys show to the land, their animals and each other is something many people in today's modern world could learn from, thanks for taking the time to bring this video to us.

[@alidahall8726]

I have high respect for the cowboys. Coming from a family of farming and mennonite family going back over 100 years at some point cowboys were some were in there since there were family members who had cattle farms so cowboys played a roll in the past with my family and this part why i love and respect the cowboys past and present and thank you

[@CowboyKentRollins]

Thanks Alida for watching

[@alancarter4270]

Great video. I live in DFW Texas and my grandfather and father inlaw were cowboys and i grew up being exposed as a boy workin the folks fanch when school was out, till it was time to go back. The cowboy way has stuck with me all my life. To this video all i can say is, Amen.!

[@TLeeDestiny]

WOW!...First of all great video. Second - Its so good to see a tradition still being carried out and to show that it is so much of a better lifestyle than punching a clock in a concrete jungle somewhere. The one saying that caught my attention was what my uncle always drove into our heads on the farm. And that was "Talk Less - Work More". I agree 100%, Kids and the younger generation now days just want to be on there phones, playstations and what nots. And the most important thing is having God in there lives because you never know when he will call you home. So, thanks for having a wonderful channel that I have just subscribed to and will be looking forward to the next one.

[@CowboyKentRollins]

Thanks Terry

[@johns.6133]

I just stumbled upon this man's cowboy videos. What a great find. I like to share these with my 12 year old son and he really enjoys them too. A completely different lifestyle than my daily grind in finance. Thanks Kent! I'm a bit envious.

It's the Cowboy Way! Rode a few fence lines myself. This kinda work is hard but the reward at the end of a long day a feeling that keeps you coming back. A good dog a good horse 500 head of cattle and a 10 mile canyon.

[@CowboyKentRollins]

For sure

[@jadjormoe]

Great video with great folk! I was a truck driver, most of my life, and got to see a lot of wonderful sights and meet some good people. If there is such a thing as re-creation, I want to come back as a cowboy. God Bless them all! Thanks Kent and Shannon for the video.

This was great. Same way i was brought up from the older men. The biggest thing whenever I was growing up. Was having respect as a cowboy. I’m going to raise my kids the same way. I also like what said about being successful. That was great. We need more men like these guys

[@thomasdenoyelles1784]

Outstanding and all is true. To see that sun come up in the morning and setting in the evening really shows what Good Lord has created for us. Nothing better than that.

[@janetbrowning9089]

I love it that there are still men out there that want to do this job; yes, wearing boots & a cowboy hat isn't what makes a man a cowboy! It takes a lot of character to fill those boots & wear that hat! Thank cowboys & I so wish we still had things the way they used to be; the country was so much better off back then! Keep up the great work, men & stand tall in those saddles too! Kent cooking for yall too, just had to be icing on the cake! I love it all!!

[@fishingwithboyd9836]

Lord bless these people! I’m very proud I was raised around people like this and that I have the opportunity to live this lifestyle. Sure I’m college “educated” but there are some profound things you can only learn by hard work and realizing you are not the center of the universe! As someone from the younger generations I feel I have an obligation to the heartland and this culture to show that the old ways are not dead yet, wise man once said, “ as long as there is a bit of land with cattle and a faithful cowboy watching over then the life won’t ever die.”

There is nothing better than eating camp cooking, a morning sunrise, night sunset. The sound of cattle in the distance. A family of coyotes singing at night. and the thunder rumbling off in the distance. Oh, and a good horse to get ya though each day. I almost forgot; getting up in the morning stiff and sore from the day before, giving thanks for the new day and a chance to do it all over again with God at your side... There is nothing better in the world than being a Cowboy...
