Its international scope offers a portrait of livelihoods that meet the modern world in varied ways, and of the challenges ranchers face around the globe.

Book overview

 

Is it Possible to 'Cowboy' on Six Continents?
That is just what J. B. Zielke did in his early twenties. Argentina to Mongolia, Mexico to Australia this book takes you to places that you may not have even realized there are cowboys. Gunfights, feral bulls, bank truck robberies, and little old men riding reindeer are all part of this modern-day international cowboy journey.
Being a cowboy is a dangerous occupation no matter where in the world it's done. There are many similarities among cowboys all over the world but even more, differences are discussed in this book. It will leave you with a new appreciation for the problems ranchers face all over the world. Whether you live in a big city high-rise or on a ranch this collection of true stories will have you on the edge of your seat.
"As cattlemen, we dream of what life was like on a trail crew driving herds north with no fences in sight. Places where technology fades away, and the spirit of the wild is still king. Something has driven J.B. to travel to where the modern world has just begun to meet the untamed land. In this book, he records what those worlds are like while they still exist." - Colter Wall
