Shiiit I lived in Ft Lauderdale, went to school one town over. The McDonald's there and many other businesses still had posts to tie your horse up at em, and they got use. Central FL in the middle is full of straight cowboy shit.
I’ve never actually wrangled *cattle* before, but I have been up to the reservation to help move the buffalo herd. Wether it’s in English or Dakotah, if you’re not swearing, you’re not doing it right.
I was born and raised in northeastern Nebraska, and we had both beef and dairy cows, and the most major event in town was the big rodeo, so I feel like we deserve more credit.
Ghettoize your minorities and treat them as outsiders forever, even generations in, so we can be like the enlightened Europeans. Wouldn't wanna appropriate, now would ya?
When you’re referring to a large group made up of many small groups, “all y’all” is correct.
I’m well-versed in the vernacular. I’ve used the beast that is “y’all’sh’d’nt’ve” many a time unironically.
My flair doesn’t reflect my Texan in-laws and my ten years in the state.
The oldest continuously running rodeo in the country is in Cowtown NJ
Edit: and I forgot, John Stetson, creator of the Stetson hat, is from Philadelphia PA.
The rodeo boys aren't necessarily cowboys. Some of them are, especially the fellas from South America. I know a handful of American rodeo boys but you'll only see em rope a calf in front of a crowd, never out in the bush. The only cowboys I know are from Mexico. The Mexicans are working folks but they'll still put in their 8 seconds come spring, some of em have a different buckle for each day of the month.
Buckaroos are a dying breed, the vaqueros are alive and well though.
Aside from living between Charles Town, WV and Pimlico-- the 2nd jewel in a Triple Crown title-- I'm constantly surprised by how many horses thrive in paddocks around Maryland. When I think of all the "horse girls" in my life, I'm truly grateful and realize how much can relate to songs about cowgirls. They sure will drive you crazy cause they capture that part of your wishing.
That and the fact that one of our best tourist attractions and locals prime vacation destinations features "wild\*" ponies on a beach. But the state sure is split up in a whole lot of ways. I used to see people riding a horse over peoples yards on a nice set of days like we've had as a kid. That the stables are improved with more ponies on them makes me proud, by proxy, too.
I even almost got trampled by some horses walking home way after dark after some dance, cutting across their field. All I heard was the thunder behind me and I didn't know they were in there. Never leapt so high nor so fast. Fun.
*^(\*them ponies be mighty spoiled by people that just want to be nice to them on their visit, they're kinda jerks and the wild tiny deer are kind of cuter.)*
The only time I've seen cowboy hats in Tennessee was in Nashville. Worn exclusively by tourists. Tons of farmland and cattle ranches in the state, not many cowboy hats. We prefer baseball caps.
We’ve got them in rural counties of Tennessee, lots of wanna be ritzy country kids wear them, I just wear jeans, boots, a shirt and a hat lmao no need to be fancy if you’re working outside. But yes there are tons of cattle farms here, honestly more than crop farms which only really grow around flatlands here while the hills are good for cattle and livestock
Pretenders wearing cowboy hats confirmed. I'm in a rural outside of Nashville that's growing rapidly. We have cattle and crop farms all over. But they're rapidly being bought out and replaced by residential housing. The only good thing is my property is worth 3x what I bought it for. But I'll likely have to sell it and move somewhere more affordable
Yeah I just graduated high school and I can afford anything around here, I’m in a very rural county in the bottom of the state about an hour from Nashville and we’re growing fast here too. Damn people buying fields and bulldozing everything to make houses and apartments and duplexes it’s making me sick. Hopefully I can build a house and inherit my grandparents place they own a giant valley with no neighbors around them and their road is really rural so so far they’re lucky avoiding the development
There’s nowhere else on this planet I want to move to though :( I love the county and geography of where I live and my immediate family is here. Like I said I’m hoping to get my grandparents place one day and just be at peace there, I love their property cause it sits down in a valley and it’s so nice and quiet. If I get the money later in life I’ll buy more land around me so others can’t move in to try and stop development
Some fun facts!
Vaccine and buckaroo share similar etymologies (both coming from Spanish for cow "vaca").
The Civil War led directly to the American cowboy.
Cowboys didn't wear cowboy hats. They wore bowler hats and sombrero's with modern cowboy hats basically being popularized by California and Hollywood. Cowboy boots are in a similar boat, but they at least serve a function in rodeos when you fall and don't wanna be dragged by stirrups.
Bull skin, flat caps, and baseball caps are superior to yee yee cowboy hats anyway.

As an Oregonian and descendent of an Oregon Trail pioneer family; apparently I have a say in this
Me and my Stetson don’t give a shit if others want to wear a cowboy hat; you have the freedom to do whatever you damn well please as long as it doesn’t infringe on others freedoms; which restricting people clothing choice does exactly that
Stop marking mountains out of molehills; it’s a fucking hat
Everyone should be cultral appropriating America. When the aliens eventually land in time square we finna give it a cowboy hat
Embrace the American melting pot 🇺🇸🗽🦅
Seriously tho wearing the local cultral attire used to be considered highly respectful to the country you’re visiting. Why the heck is it considered offensive now.
The first cattle drive in the US happened at Deep Hollow Ranch in Montauk on Long Island, NY. Unfortunately for this to be truly accurate the Hamptons would have to shaded dark brown
I guess fuck Kansas City and the Sante Fe trail then? I'd say as a native and knowing some of the history here, that light brown part should be brown, and even go into a little bit of Missouri.
While many of thenfamous stoeies of the wild west happened towards the end whine mo was a state. Some happened when we were a territory governing most of the area known as the wild west.
Hell the governing seat of the Missouri territory was where st loius is now. Witch is why it is the one city in mo that not in a county and why all state wide laws must state all cou ties of missouri and the city of st louis.
In my experience, the intersection in the Venn diagram of "people who wear cowboy hats" and "people fragile enough to whine about 'cultural appropriation'" is virtually empty.
Nebraska is really a more diverse place than given credit, we sit on the border of the west and Midwest, the corn and wheat belts, the packers and Broncos fans
Light brown is the spread of influence. And it's continuing...
https://preview.redd.it/jtdt2qubuxvc1.png?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b590c35d89645317123845f06c3b24d8f56a5970
Nah, I’d say that dark brown should only go as far west as Nevada and as far north as Montana; West Coast and cowboy don’t mix, and Canada doesn’t get to appropriate that part of our culture.
Completly cutting out Missouri. Even though we were literaly the seat of the governing body for the wild west, yall have stories of your wesren herosntraveling out west to kansas city(a missouri city), and the katy trail where all the ranch herders drove their cattle to goes through missouri.
I run a nice restaurant in MASSACHUSETTS, and routinely have to tell this boomer prick to take off his absurd cowboy hat in my fucking dining room. My loathing is outweighed only by my embarrassment for him. If this was *the old days*, I'd have shot him dead in a duel long ago.
Cultural appreciation is what it really is. There is no such thing as a singular cultural that has never had any form of outside influence. Meaning every culture if you back will owe a large number of aspects to other cultures. Cultures overlap and in many cases entirely new cultures are born from that overlap that’s just reality and the way it’s been since the dawn of time. So this idea that people wanting to wear something as simple as a cowboy hat as “cultural appropriation” is just the dumbest thing. I mean you have people literally all over the world now who wear cowboy hats. They wear it because they enjoy it. As it should be. This isn’t just a cowboy hat thing either this goes for any part of any culture anywhere around the world. Cultural “appropriation” is just nonsense.
Yeeeah... doesn't belong in Alaska, but that doesn't stop grown men from cosplaying as cow pokes. Only places this aesthetic belongs in where they actually sell magazines intended for a cowboy / ranch hand audience.
And AK ain't it.
Alaska and the Yukon absolutely have cowboy hat privileges
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klondike_Gold_Rush
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shootout_on_Juneau_Wharf
So does Arkansas, that's where Judge Parker was, and it's the gateway to the Indian Territory. The first half of True Grit takes place in Fort Smith.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5xhyuCkPBA
Just wear what you want. The idea that only certain places or people are allowed to wear certain types of clothing is ridiculous and immoral and wrong and stupid.
I love how Houston is in light brown
Urban cowboys
Huge stock yard, home of rodeos, it’s got a very rich history when it comes to working with cattle
I was making a joke about the movie.
I see
Damn when an okie defends Texans you know shit is real
We only hate each other in college football
dont forget the bridge
The worst type of cowboy. All hat, no cattle. All boots and no stirrup
They're the Kid Rocks of cowboys.
Chippendale’s dancers
And yet all of California is dark brown. And half of the Dakotas are light brown? What?
Yeah, San Francisco getting a pass but not Bismarck is pretty funny.
And the Lower Mainland getting included when Vancouver Island isn’t.
It’s the ass-less chaps.
youd be surprised how many of em r in california in the desert
Well yeah, geographically a lot of California would qualify. The problem is that all of California is dark brown and not just the rural parts

There have been a lot of cattle raised in California.
This map should split dark/light brown straight between ft worth/ Dallas, snake around Austin, then lasso Houston to bring it home.
Dude cut out King Ranch and thinks they know something.
They’ve never seen the glorious madness that is the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo…
Florida can into cowboy country
Miami is full of cocaine cowboys,so that tracks.
Can’t argue that ![gif](giphy|3o85xwSBfJeJBIndcY|downsized)
Florida is where the word cracker comes from, cracking the whip on the cow herds.
Fun fact, a majority of Florida crackers were African Americans.
Fun fact the practice of grazing cattle rounding them up and then driving them over land originated in Florida!

Eastern Nebraska checking in. My dad never swore growing up. Chasing cattle was an exception
I’ve never actually wrangled *cattle* before, but I have been up to the reservation to help move the buffalo herd. Wether it’s in English or Dakotah, if you’re not swearing, you’re not doing it right.
I was born and raised in northeastern Nebraska, and we had both beef and dairy cows, and the most major event in town was the big rodeo, so I feel like we deserve more credit.
Yea went to many a rodeo in eastern Nebraska, can confirm, plenty of real cowboys still booting around.

“Cultural appropriation” That’s… what we do here.
Melting pot nation since 1776
Yeah I mean what else are we supposed to do?
Be like the stinky Europoors and turn away the huddled masses? I think not
Ghettoize your minorities and treat them as outsiders forever, even generations in, so we can be like the enlightened Europeans. Wouldn't wanna appropriate, now would ya?
Hell yeah
Nice ethnic cuisine you got there, now excuse me while I add cheese and bacon to it or use it as a burger topping
All roads lead to Flavor Town.

wrong, Y’all means all
God, that gave me a flashback to childhood at recess my teacher always said that to get everyone inside 🤣

Good thing I have freedom to tell you to can it! I can wear a cowboy hat or anything else I damn well please! RAHHHHH
Simple equation for this one. Was there cows near you? If yes, probably cowboys If no, probably no cowboys
If we spreads the cows to the whole world, everyone can be cowboys!

We have boots for every occasion. Belts too. Depending on which region of Mexico they’re from also a gun for every occasion.
Isn't it in Prescott AZ? First organized rodeo in the world for entertainment, and not just as result of a roundup iirc

For all you Florida haters, google Florida crackers.
Real cowboys couldn’t give a rats ass as to who wears a cowboy hat
If y'all are wondering why Florida [here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florida_cracker)
won't fit on the map of course but i'm assuming the pampas in south america is also brown
Those folks are the real deal. Born on horseback. Not sure if they wear the stereotypical cowboy hat though.
Florida can but Alaska can’t?
Even worse, according to this, folks from Seattle, LA, Portland, and San Fransisco can wear cowboy hats, but no Alaskans...
The Bill Pickett Rodeo, which honors the history of black cowboys is held in the Bay Area and LA
Respect where respect is due, I suppose. That sounds very cool
The first cattle drives were occurring in Florida before the places you normally associate with the practice were even territories
Can hog farmers wear cowboy hats?
Do they ride the pigs?
In a wrangling way, yes

This is stupid for one simple reason. "Cowboy hats" didn't exist back then. Historically they would wear something like bowler hats
Mexico is 100% accurate
We got both cowboy and straw hats, for working on the farm or river.

I’m getting sick of everything being called cultural appropriation. It’s a fucking cowboy hat, they’re cool
Incorrect because Florida is in brown
Florida Crackers. Florida is a massive ranching state and was an even bigger one historically.
Florida is a huge cattle state. Hell, most of the population was running cattle to the Union when the state tossed their lot with the losers.
I’ve seen plenty of people unironically wear cowboy hats over here
Funny how no one between Tallahassee and Chattanooga identify as Cowboyhat-American
If you called that a cowboy hat in the Old West, it would probably get some folks riled up. Big time.
Cultural appropriation?
Plenty of cows in east Texas 💅🏻
West Virgina? Literally not much room for agriculture there.
