Hays,<br /><br />I do think your article deserves comment.<br /><br />I believe the first cow came from Europe brought by one of Christopher Columbus's sailing trips. <br /><br />After the Spanish conquered South America, the method of raising cattle developed. Because of the harsher terrain, a stronger saddle was needed and all the equipment and techniques to herd cattle came from south of the border. <br /><br />It is amazing to me that the history books, and the American Cowboy who adopted all the cattle herding techniques didn't seem to give credit where it was due.<br /> <br />The way of the cowboy didn't come out of thin air and was NOT invented by Americans. It is amazing the myth persists that it was special only to the American West.<br /><br /><br />Charlie Steelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16992330591519249699noreply@blogger.com
