.. for all the Cowboy fans (like me)
The cowboy is the symbolic icon of American western culture and dates back more than two centuries.
Today, being a cowboy means living the ranching lifestyle. Cattle operations are the largest single segment of American agriculture. More than 1 million beef producers in the U.S. are responsible for more than 94 million head of beef cattle. And there is a vast amount of sheep, goats and horses that are raised in rural America. With all of that livestock to manage, the cowboy way of life is still essential to American society.
While most of us only see cowboys in the movies, here are 11 regions in the US where cowboy culture is still alive and well.
