Question

How many hours a day did a cowboy typically work on a ranch? How many hours was he on the trail?

Answer 1

Answer:

20hours

Explanation:

Working up to 20 hours a day, cowboys drove the animals from one watering place to the next. They had to guard against predators (two- and four-footed), straying cattle, and stampedes at night. For his hard and dirty work the typical cowboy earned between $25 and $40 a month.
