One day in April 1989 his cows broke out of the feeding area into a seven-acre field full of natural lush April growth—lamb’s quarters, rye grass, a little clover and fescue. The next day there was a two-pound average increase per cow in milk production.

On this three-day working vacation, the five guests were dubbed “the dudes.” They came from all over the U.S. and Europe to see what it’s like to be a cowboy or cowgirl for several days. The dudes rode alongside the Cox and Heaton families, driving 200 cattle from lower elevations to the summer grazing grounds just outside Bryce Canyon National Park.
