Rancher, Ranch Hand, Cowboy, Cowhand Part 3

OK, maybe he is right. Maybe a cowboy he's not. He is a mechanic, a pediatrician, an obstetrician, a veterinary, a plumber (wells), a house keeper (stalls), a blacksmith, a dietician, a truck driver, a farmer (crops), a carpenter (corrals and maternity wards), a construction worker, a landscaper (fencing), a teacher, a road grader (keeps roads oven year round), a hunter (hunts stray critters), a trapper (beavers to keep our water ways open and skunks to keep our sinuses working), a cowboy (cattle work), a welder, a rancher, a ranch hand, a cowhand and a_______ I give, I give. He is a Jack of all Trades, but since his name is Billy I can’t go around calling him Jack, so he will always be my cowboy to me. P. S. he is definitely not a modern cowboy. No three wheelers, no pickups, no motorcycles. He did his cattle work by horseback.
