"hello, Sir. I didn't know that fact. How do they keep up with all of their work? I mean I am taking care of 50 heads of cows and they are not milking cows either. 40 horses to look after too." Jack spoke after he recovered from the surprise.<br/><br/>"Each cowboy has 250 heads to look after besides their own horses. Some are milking cows and most are young with quite a few bulls for the rodeo.<br/>5 cowboys deal with the milking cows. They milk them twice a day, clean the machines and take care of the milk. They also make sure the barns are mucked out each week, all of the cows fed and hoofs checked twice a week. I have 1250 milking cows and 5 setups. They each have 3 ranch hands to help them.<br/><br/>I have 250 full grown bulls, 1000 young  which 3 men keep an eye on. Each Cowboy has 3 ranch hands to help so that everyone has a full weekend off.<br/>I have 34 men working the animals, 3 to pick up the slack and to do odd jobs like filling the hay barns and grain delivery. 4 maintenance men to keep the ranch running, 2 handy men to keep things kept looking nice by mowing grass and painting plus other odd jobs. That is not counting the house staff." Jesse informed him.
