![]() It’s also pretty difficult for people who aren’t born into this way of life to get involved, and with fewer children being born into it there will continue to be fewer cowboys to carry on the tradition.ĬG: What was it like competing alongside cowboys? The cowboy way of life is often an unpredictable way of life and there are lots of risks that come with the unpredictability of things, such as weather and market prices, so many people choose to stick to jobs that don’t have near the risks and unreliability. So many people these days see they can get a much easier job making much more money, and that’s what they do. It requires a lot of work and sacrifice, and you don’t get large monetary benefits from it. JSJ: This way of life is often times not easy. With so many easier lifestyles, not everyone is going to be drawn to struggling. It takes a special kind of individual to put the needs of livestock before their own, to put in more than the standard 40 hours with little show. There are many strenuous challenges that you don’t see in other industries. Farming and ranching is not for the faint of heart. So many people have become separated from their agricultural roots that many don’t even know where their food comes from. Making sure young girls see that they too can participate and be active in the industry is important, especially because there is a great need for younger generations to be more involved in agriculture.ĬG: What do you think about the notion that American cowboys/cowgirls are a dying breed? There are lots of women that work cattle and play very vital roles in this industry, and it needs to be seen more often. JSJ: Many people assume this way of life is only for men. We work to provide a safe and sustainable food source, not only for ourselves but the world. What we do is so much more than turning three barrels in a pen. Cowgirls are farmers, ranchers, teachers, scientists… and that is all in one day’s job. A real cowgirl is a woman in agriculture. However, that isn’t what a real cowgirl is. Something pretty, delicate, or just for show. When people say the word “cowgirl,” we often think of cowgirl queens. TP: I think it is incredibly important for people to see working cowgirls because women in agriculture are often forgotten. With varying backgrounds, geographic locations, education and experiences in the contestants the show helps paint a picture of how a cowboy isn’t always what you see in the movies.ĬG: Why is it important for audiences to see working cowgirls? Tara Powers: Ultimate Cowboy Showdown is special because it shows a very wide array of what a “cowboy” is. We spoke with them about the show, their experience with the Western lifestyle, and what they think everyone should know about the agriculture industry.ĬOWGIRL: What makes Ultimate Cowboy Showdown special? ![]() J Storme Jannise and Tara Powers are two working cowgirls ready to take home the prize: $50,000 worth of cattle, bragging rights, and an honorary buckle. The competition will crown one talented Westerner the Ultimate Cowboy, but don’t be fooled they’re not all men. ![]() Planning Infer., to appear.Next week Monday, INSP’s Ultimate Cowboy Showdown hits the screen.
