Modern Kansas Cowboys Round Up Flint Hills Cattle
In Kansas the annual July roundup drives about 1 100 head across the Flint Hills with cowboys and cowgirls on horseback. The operation spans 80 000 acres owned by Bill Haw and involves multi generational ranchers like the Nelson family and Emporia State University historian Jake Betts noting the enduring traditional art. A mix of old methods and modern tools shapes the long shipping season as caretakers vaccine brand and fix fences while wages are modest and pride runs deep.
