Sam Dove

Sam Dove and his wife Catherine live in Alpine, TX. His family ranched in central TX and he grew up admiring his grandfather. Ranching runs in his blood on both sides of the family. He went to college for a short time and received a degree in range animal science with a minor in chemistry. Throughout this episode, he talks about being involved in some of the last times the big ranches pulled the chuckwagon, he talks about a cowboys purpose, how to get through a drought, everything a cowboy does with no recognition, and the differences in working as a cowboy vs. being in a ranch management position. At 67 years old, he still loves the cowboy way of life as much as he did as a kid. I admire his humility and I hope you all enjoy listening to his story as much as I did.
