No rules. But most of the guys that wear 10 gallon hats also wear their ass as a hat. Most good cowboys don't wear cowboy hats.

I went and got him...and still feel like an asshole, but am glad he sold them at the time.
Now that my siblings have returned to the area and almost all have land, we'll probably all end up with cows again.

Yeah, my maternal grandpa had cows, and quite frankly was bad at it. Accordingly, I have a shit perspective on running livestock. Whenever I had to help, it was typically me vs the cow.
My mom got dumptrucked when I was in college. I wish grandpa would have sold out the year before that happened.
