Where does Colorado rank when compared to states like Wyoming, Kansas and Wyoming?
Cowboys drove 400 steers from north of Horse Creek Road north of Cheyenne, Wyo., 5 miles down the I-25 frontage road to the Frontier Days grounds in the city in July 2003.
Tombstone is the home of maybe the most famous gunfight in the West at the OK Corral, and the lore of that alone is enough to challenge the Grand Canyon for Arizona’s most famous landmark. Because shootouts didn’t always end well, its Boothill Graveyard is the final resting place for many legendary cowboys and outlaws.
And it’s not just the past. Cattle production is our top agricultural commodity, and it takes real-life cowboys to tend to that land and wrangle those cows. We’re also home to a whopping eight rodeo associations, including Aurora’s International Gay Rodeo Association, Colorado Springs’ Women’s Professional Rodeo Association, Westminster’s National High School Rodeo Association and the ProRodeo Hall of Fame and Museum of the American Cowboy in Springs.
“The heritage is staying strong, I believe,” Sturman said. “Rodeo is more popular today than ever before based on the membership numbers, number of fans and how the sport has reached many more households with being televised more in the last ten years.”It’s pretty hard to argue with Wyoming’s cowboy claim to fame.
But maybe the biggest reason that Texas tops our cowboyiest countdown is because it’s where the word cowboy originated. And it isn’t pretty.
