There are two Country Women near me that impress me so much, both can out-work most guys (including me) that i know. Both are fairly petite, at about 5' 5" and 110 lbs or so, tough as nails, single-handedly pulling calves, operating equipment, building fences, driving cattle, packing hay etc, - good solid people, wonderful friends... the first one is my age, we met in high-school more than 40 years ago (who knows - perhaps the one that got away?), and she is always willing to help. Raised six (6) boys, mostly in rodeo circuits and stunt rallies. The second one is my neighbour of the past 7-8 years, a widowed senior in her mid 70s, grew up cattle ranching in Montana, moved to BC Can about 20 yrs ago. Sweetest lady, great neighbour.
The world is a better place.
A third Country Woman is one of my daughters... a young wife and new mother who married a pastor / rancher. She will me moving away to her husband's family's ranch in the coming months. She is not shy of work, and grew up as a star athlete, I'm sure that she / they will do well.
side note ... we expected that raising our 3 kids out in the country / hobby farming lifestyle, that they would get involved in 4H programs like many of their friends. Nope, ALL 3 were gifted athletes...
Go Figure.
