Ranch Hand

I was asked today, by a job hunter I was working with, just "why" I had "ranch hand" job experience and info in the Work in Texas.com job site database? 

Well, I told her, I was desperate ... and I apparently have a lot more experience than even I knew I had.  You see, I grew up a cowboy.  I worked with horses and cattle, and helped my Dad run a 675 acre ranch in West Texas.  There was lots and lots of cattle work, some farming, implement work, and just about anything you can think of. 

I was actually surprised, once I began answering the questions, as to just how much I "had' done back then.

Do I miss it?   Oh yes!!
