Outside the tiny town of Wiley, Colorado, there are real-life cowboys who are surviving in business against all odds, carrying on their cowboy tradition into the modern age.
Josh Weimer rises at 4:00 a.m., before sunlight, and saddles up alongside his 15-year-old son, Trate, to start another day struggling to cut out the middleman in the beef industry. Weimer’s hands have thrown more lassos than he can remember and are no stranger to bitter cold days and decades of hard work. They’re on the range almost year round, driving or sorting cattle alongside hired cowboy hands.
