American Cowboy Magazine

Cowboy Festival in Santa Clarita, CA

I can’t thank my fellow Gonzaga Bulldog and dear friend Russell Sypowitz enough for arranging my involvement in this wonderful event.  If you ever get a chance, you really need to check out this event. (More details at http://www.cowboyfestival.org)

I represented the U.S. Cattlemen’s Association at the festival.  We shared a booth with my good friends Bill Garrels, Tony Castellano and Mark Wentura.  It was the perfect package: a top cattlemen’s association teaming up with a must read magazine (American Cowboy Magazine), and newest and finest line of western jeans (Iron Horse Jeans)! 

During this event I also got a chance to meet a hero of mine and top western country music performer, Brenn Hill.  To my pleasant surprise and good fortune I spent a considerable amount of time with Brenn as we mapped out plans to create a linkage between his musical performances and the cattlemen’s outreach meetings that I am involved in.  More to come on this exciting endeavor. In the meantime-listen to his music and like me you’ll soon find out that good, country western music is alive in well with the songs Brenn produces!

Start in Denver, then on to Wyoming

Today was a good day as I grabbed lunch American Cowboy Magazine publisher Bill Garrels.  We discussed putting together some joint USCA/American Cowboy events.  The sky is truly the limit on these projects!

Overall, Denver has been good, but I have to say: the traffic can be a bit maddening.  I could not have been more happy to point the Blue Bandit north and head for Torrington, Wyoming.  I called a top hand and good friend of the cattle industry Lex Madden to let him know I was in town for the Friday cattle sale at Torrington Livestock Market.

Lex promptly sent the Torrington Livestock Market field representative Jeff Ward to pick me up to meet the Madden family and some area ranchers for dinner.  I had a great time with this crew and can’t thank them enough for their kindness and hospitality.
