Twenty-first century cowboys
What do you know about twenty-first century cowboys? Cowboys
have always had a 13 _ image. When people first watched
Hollywood films, being a cowboy wasn’t a 14 _. It was a life of
adventure, freedom, horses. It was a classic 15 _ of the United
States of America. In reality, American cowboys have lived and
worked here in the west and south-west of the United States for over
three centuries, long before Hollywood. The adventure and romance
have disappeared but the 16 _ work and long hours are the
same as they’ve always been.
It’s also difficult to define a twenty-first century cowboy. Surely it
can’t be the big cattle owners who do business with a seventy-billion
dollar beef industry? These 17 _ ranches use the latest
technology and employ accountants. But even some of the old
18 _ cattle ranches make more money nowadays by offering
holidays to tourists.
