=__Cowboy__=

=__The Boss__= The Spanish cowboys were getting the rods ready to brand the cows. The cows did not like it. Long ago they even branded the people they captured. Letters became boxed, half boxed, or lazy. Branding helps people know who's cattle was who's.

=__Wrangler__=

Once there lived a baby. His name was Sam. His parents thought he was as normal as any other child, but their opinion changed one foggy day on the farm... Sam's parents were out planting cacti when all of the sudden 60 bulls charged into the farm. He was only 4, but Sam knew what to do. He took a lasso and wrangled all 60 bulls. He sat on top and took them to where they belonged and there wasn't even a scratch or dent on the farm. After that he was known as 'Sixty Sam.'

He was noticed for his bravery and eventually owned his own farm. He got married to a woman named Buffalo Jane. She could herd buffalo from a mile away. Buffalo Jane wanted to try to ride 60 bulls like her husband he said ' no'. But she just went on and tried. Before he knew it he was trying to save Buffalo Jane from getting bucked all the way to the moon. Luckily they both survived and both got recognized for bravery.

=__The Cook__= Charles Goodnight invented the chuck wagon.The normal things inside the chuck wagon are flour,coffee beans, oatmeal, bacon,apples,lard,salt,cornstarch,baking powder, rice,mustard,peppercorns etc. all that food could last the whole trip. That's a lot of food, enough to feed a lot of people!
