About Cowboy Stories

Welcome to the COWBOY STORIES podcast. Throughout my childhood, I always enjoyed listening to different cowboys tell their stories. Now, because of this podcast, I’ll have the opportunity to interview some of those cowboys and share their stories with you. My purpose in doing this is part education, part entertainment but it’s mostly to help preserve this way of life. We’re excited to have you on this journey with us!

   Freddy Prather

   Freddy Prather is 80 years old and lives in Paduka, TX. He didn't grow up with a ranching background but he knew it was what he wanted to do and he stuck with it. His first job as a cowboy paid him $140/month and he had to make that work to support his young family. He's worked on places like the 6666's, Triangles, Moorhouses and a few others. In 1985 he won reserve world champion in the NCHA on a horse called Fifth Jubilee. You'll hear all about that story and a bunch of others as you listen to this episode.

   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.
