Judy Buffington Sammons grew up on a ranch ranch, large farm devoted chiefly to raising and breeding cattle, horses, sheep, and goats. The cattle ranch was introduced from Latin America to Texas and the plains of the W United States and Canada.  in the Ohio Creek Valley country of Gunnison, Colorado Gunnison is a city in Gunnison County, Colorado, United States. As of the 2000 census, the city had a total population of 5,409. It is the county seat of Gunnison CountyGR6. The city was named after John W.  where her father and grandfather raised registered Hereford cattle Hereford cattle (hûr`fərd), breed of beef cattle originated in Herefordshire, England, and thought to be descended from the primitive cattle of the country. . So Judy writes with a particular expertise in "Riding, Roping, And Roses: Colorado's Women Ranchers" of what Colorado women ranchers have been able to accomplish in a country and a business that was and continues to be dominated by men. Spanning the late 1870s down to the present day, "Riding, Roping, And Roses" features the examples of women drawn from many parts of Colorado. Some of the are obscure while others are well known. What all these women have in common is the success they made of ranching against all odds and expectations--including their own. "Riding, Roping, And Roses" is strongly recommended to the attention of non--specialist general readers, as well as a unique and welcome addition to academic and community library Women's Studies women's studies
