May 7,1875 Today I roped a longhorn, I must have good luck today.On the ranch I found a lose longhorn.I was the best horse rider of the day. Also I had the shadiest ranch. I must be cursed with good luck not bad luck. =__The Boss__=

A long, long time ago Ancient Greeks and Romans marked their slaves and cattle with hot irons. OUCH!!!!! In the Old West, cowboys marked their cattle with permanent makers (not the kind you draw with). This was called branding.

=__The Cowboy__= The cowboy wore clothing that was useful.The cowboy hat was useful and protected them from the sun. The bandana can be used for many things. The boots were high up to protect their legs from rattle snakes and mini-cacti.The spurs made their horse go faster.The lasso roped moving longhorns!



=__The Wrangler__= The wrangler is usually a young boy. In the morning he rounded up horses that had gotten away during the night.
