Do you have to work with cattle to be a cowboy?
It certainly would seem like it, wouldn't it? The fact is, yes, but only in part. You are not a real cowboy unless you know how to ride a horse and rope from the saddle. Real cowboys should know how to saddle their own horses (the right way of course), gather up a lariat properly (and throw it just as well), and ride a green horse. You also have to be mindful of your behaviour and language around the ladies, show respect to others, and never hesitate to give someone a helping hand when need be. So just because you can work with cattle doesn't automatically make you a cowboy. It makes you a cattleman of some sort, but not a cowboy.
