About this product
Product Information
Twenty Miles of Fence recounts a decade of transformation when Bob West, a westerner at heart, decided to escape the pretense of his unfulfilling architectural life and to become, quite simply, a cowboy. A cowboy? That old cliché about biting off more than you can chew fittingly describes the lessons learned when West and his family bought the Devil's Washtub Ranch in Wyoming. Already owning two horses, housed in a stylish stable on five acres near the yuppie haven of Boulder, Colorado, West soon discovered that ownership of two horses does not equal twenty miles of fence, 3,200 deeded acres, 400 BLM acres, 154 head of black angus, two and a half miles of the North Laramie River--and what would become for him the very best of times. Little did West know how those years would test him, inspire him, and lead him back to his true character.

Reviews
" Twenty Miles of Fence won me over. It is a charming story that is candid and open about the author's fears, passions, loves, disappointments, and the growing-up lessons that came along the way. It will delight a wide range of readers, including those from the West and far beyond."--Richard L. Knight, professor emeritus of wildlife conservation at Colorado State University, "If you ever doubt that Wyoming is not for the weak, Twenty Miles of Fenc e will dispel you of that notion, with writing so vivid you'll shiver at the January blizzards, smell the fresh-cut summer hay, and hear the river rushing on a cool evening. The reader is treated to an unfiltered look at what real cattle ranching is like, without the romance and legend. Bob West's transformation from greenhorn to a man in tune with the land and animals shows grit and determination much like the landscape itself. This is a true story of homecoming, an unflinching look at the seemingly insurmountable challenges and the ultimate triumph."--Shannon Baker, award-winning author of the Kate Fox Mystery series, "Colorado architect Bob West was already half qualified for cowboy life when he bought a Wyoming ranch. He loved vast wild spaces, enjoyed hours on horseback, and had a deep respect for the land, its people, and creatures. The other half--backbreaking labor, a surprising reliance on machinery, gleefully fickle weather, and finances that rarely penciled out--he learned the hard way. Learn he did, and it's a testament to West's spirit that he held on. The take on ranch life in Twenty Miles of Fence , written with Janet Fogg, is both unsparing and yet so lyrical as to make readers yearn to give it a try themselves."--Gwen Florio, author of the award-winning Lola Wicks Mystery series, "You can take an architect out of Boulder, but can you make him a cattle rancher in Wyoming? Twenty Miles of Fence answers that question in gritty, unflinching detail. A searing, adventurous memoir about the cold, hard realities of pursuing the cowboy way."--Mark Stevens, author of the Allison Coil Mystery series

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
