No one knows how many cowboys are still working, maybe between ten and fifty thousand. It’s also difficult to define a twenty-first century cowboy. Surely he can’t be the big cattle owner who does business with the seventy-million-dollar-a-year beef industry! Does he work on the modern ranches that use latest technology and employ accountants? Or on of the old traditional cattle ranches that make more money nowadays offering tours to tourist then they do raising cattle? Places where people come to experience a cowboy’s life (or hollywood’s version of it)?
