Answer 1

Answer: Yes

Cowboys were mostly young men in the West who needed cash. To earn cash, they herd cattle, help care for horses, repair fences and buildings and work as cattle drives. They made about $25 to $40 a month at the average age of 24.

Unlike cowboys seen in the movies, cowboys of the old west performed hazardous jobs but chose this life for the freedom and independence,
