My duties, well no gunfights (yet?). But really, it is a lot like the old west, but in modern times. We have quite a few cows that we raise on the mountain in the summer, and feed out in the valley in the winter. Lots of riding horses, herding cows to and from pastures, branding calves, vaccinating, playing midwife (delivering calves--sometimes assisting with birth in "pulling" calves during difficult deliveries, driving tractors, putting up hay, chopping corn, driving trucks & horse trailers, putting up fences, blood, sweat and tears. --But that's the life of a cowboy.
I actually have another job to support the habit, as generally there isn't much profit in farming or ranching. Lots of open spaces and being outdoors.
What do you do?
