When I was a child my friends and I would visit one of the cattle farms in our town.Our town was a lot like a pioneer town. I found it interesting watching the farmer work with his cattle. Each night he would gather up all his cattle and put them in the barn to protect them from the wolves in the nearby woods. On one occasion I watched him gather up all the cattle and horses quickly. He seemed to have it down to an exact science. I considered him a very intelligent and organized farmer. Once I asked him how he learned to gather up the cattle he said with a lot of practice. He told me he would practice lassoing a fence pole in the farm yard. After all the practice he used to sit down on a blanket in the yard and enjoy a picnic lunch of a sandwich and some potato chips. Once I sat down with him while he ate his lunch and he invited my friend and I  to go to the rodeo the following weekend. I was exciting to see how a rodeo was run. Once we arrived at the rodeo we found a seat while the farmer unloaded his cattle for the auction following the rodeo.  I would love to attend another rodeo if I lived closer to the rodeo I would like to get Tickets to the National Finals Rodeo. The atmosphere of the rodeo is exciting to me for many reasons. I like to watch the dust blow up under the bull’s legs and the man fight to take over a beast much larger than him. I love to listen to the excitement in the crowd cheering on the bull rider and the bull trying so hard to know the man off his back. Then there is the man being bolted off the bull and running for dear life to get away from him. I don’t quite understand the rodeo, but I do like watch it in action.
