A Working Cowboy Shows What Real Range Life Looks Like

Send us Fan MailNevada ranching is not a postcard; it is wind, distance, rock, and hard decisions that most people never have to make. Tonight, we sit down with Cory from Roobuck Nevada, a day-working cowboy who hauls his own horses, takes short jobs wherever he is needed, and documents the real thing on YouTube without staging a single moment.We get into what separates a working horse from a performance horse, why half draft horses are getting popular out West, and how a tough old Mustang can still be the kind of partner you trust when the country gets mean. Cory also lays out the unfiltered mustang conversation: what feral horses do to springs, fences, and rangeland, why some ranches restrict mares, and how the public perception often clashes with life on the ground.From there, we talk desert grazing and the surprising nutrition hiding in scrubby plants like winterfat, plus the make-or-break reality of western irrigation and water rights. Cory explains how reservoir water, acre-feet, and water shares shape what land is worth, then shifts into calving season, Foothills Abortion, and everyday risks from predators to hunter conflicts on open country.We finish with money and mindset: cattle prices, cowboy wages, diesel costs, and practical advice for young cowboys and cowgirls who want a real start.
