Cory Caswell has worked as a hired hand on Wyoming and Montana ranches since he came west as a teenager, not staying in any one place longer than a few months. He talks about his hard, unpredictable, but satisfying life as itinerant ranch hand."I'm living proof," Caswell says. "Yeah, there are still cowboys in Wyoming and Montana. And I think there always will be."

(Broadcast: "Mountain West Voices,"  7/20/15, Monday afternoons, 4:53 p.m., or via podcast.)
