Launch of the Austin Gamblers Pro Team

This week's episode focuses on a truly legendary rancher: Cattle Kate. Rarely does a rancher meet mythic proportions, but Ellen Watson and her partner Jim Averell became the topic of legend through the tragedy that befell them on their homesteads near the Sweetwater in Rawlins, Wyoming. Listen in to learn more! From her Wikipedia: Ellen Liddy Watson (July 2, 1860[1] – July 20, 1889) was a pioneer of Wyoming who became known as Cattle Kate, an outlaw of the Old West, although the characterization is a dubious one, as subsequent research has tended to see her as a much maligned victim of a self styled land baron. Watson had acquired homestead rights on land with water resources vital to the wealthiest rancher in the county, Albert Bothwell, when she was accused by him of cattle rustling. She was abducted from her home and lynched along with her husband by Bothwell and some other ranchers he had incited against her. The bodies were left hanging for 2 days, and the reputation that attached to her until recently was quickly established by newspaper publicity. Accounts of Watson as a rustler are now regarded as highly biased. Her life has become an Old West legend, and inspired a number of television and film accounts.

Rodeo is a truly American sport. You can find them from Washington to Texas and they always begin with a prayer, a recognition of our armed forces and first responders, and the singing of the National Anthem. Everything the woke mobs hate. This episode addresses the proposed ban on rodeo in the city of of Los Angeles. Learn about how the Compton cowboys, the PRCA, PBR, and many other organizations are fighting back against woke animal rights activists to preserve the most patriotic sport. -Western Justice Legal Fund: https://www.westernjustice.info/copy-of-western-sports-industry-coali -Protect the Harvest: https://protecttheharvest.com/news/rodeo-ban-language-submitted-by-la-city-attorney/ -American Horse Council: https://www.horsecouncil.org/issue/take-action-2/ -AQHA: https://www.aqha.com/-/aqha-advocacy My Links: Instagram: @therancherpod https://www.instagram.com/therancherpod/ Email: rancherpodcast@gmail.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheRancherPod Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvdB0pjMM-5cIq5wnvTABmA/featured

Join me today as I add a new entry into the legendary rancher series: Colonel C.C. Slaughter. This is the first of three parts on Slaughter and his cattle business to check in soon for more! From his Wikipedia: Christopher Columbus Slaughter (a.k.a. C.C. Slaughter or Lum Slaughter) (1837–1919) was an American rancher, cattle drover and breeder, banker and philanthropist in the Old West. After serving in the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War of 1861–1865, he came to own 40,000 cattle and over one million acres of ranch land in West Texas. He became the largest taxpayer in Texas, and used his wealth to endow Baptist institutions. He was known as the "Cattle King of Texas." Book Mentioned: https://www.tamupress.com/book/978162...
