Wow. So much love. This is an awesome video. Great story. Great man. Reminds me of my grandfather. We all called him pops. We was a farmer, welder, machinist, mechanic, builder, he do just about everything. He made us a go cart out of a chainsaw and it was fast. He helped anybody and everybody. We all bailed hay, picked corn, drove tractor. He had an old Case and a Massey Ferguson plus the little one for mowing. We had our own fuel tanks on the farm. We had black angus cattle in western PA. We had a pond with bass and bluegill and my cousins trapped, we all hunted, I was too young but nothing made me happier than to be outside alongside my pops. He was my mentor and I wish I had learned more from him before I left. I packed up and left when I was 14 to escape an abusive step father. Glad I got out but I missed my pops. I went on to become a cook, woodworker, builder, general contractor finish carpenter, Potter, and my heart is happy when I am using my hands and making something. Just yesterday I made a cane for a friend from a fallen branch with nothing but my folding Bessey utility knife. Love your channel. Thank you for sharing this.
This video has pop up about every 6 months for me for the last couple years, and I have to watch it every time…. True grit, true America, truly missed. Thanks for E.C. for sharing and trying to do your part to keep the important things in life, family, work and country from disappearing.
@@augustreil It's a joke. Cy says he almost put down 2 year old Skibby because he wasn't quite good enough. Most young men that would pass through his fictitious one month camp would not be good enough for Cy and would thus be put down. And now that I've explained the joke, it's dead. Thanks a lot.
I learnt more about the work of a true cowboy in this than the years of watching documentaries. Got through to my core, a piece of social history that is as good as any on the big budget channels. Thanks Cy for saying it, and the background team for doing it. Should be put in the library of Congress as a record of the life. Amacf
man o man i could listen to si talk for days & days...just think at the knowledge he has collected over the years & i know theirs some great storrys in their to !
Grew up on a ranch in Western Nebraska. Ranchers speak a language and share quite a few core similarities. It is a pleasure to listen to an old cowman like Cy. On a side note, my heart always hurts when I see a prolapsed cow. But having empathy is a part of being a steward to animals and the land under your care. That is one of the biggest lessons my dad passed on to me.
The love of a good dog. I understand how a tough cowboy like Cy can get choked up about a good cattle dog. I am blessed with one of the best. Minnie the Mooch, border collie from Lynn Daniels in Atoka Oklahoma. I trained her (really just I had learn to control her, she does the rest). She is amazing. I dread the day when she can no longer do my job. A lot of truth in what Cy said about working until the job is done. You don't get to punch a clock in farming. Cattle need help at 2 a.m. and 2 p.m. , in the cold or in the heat, nature doesn't make it easy. Thank you for your wonderful channel. It really is a peaceful place in this tumultuous world.
@@John98512, Sorry about Merle. My dog whose is black lays on the asphalt in the blazing sun but he's only 3, either way I'm sorry. My dog (Bullett) is 50/50 Black Lab/Golden Retriever, completely black. I'm lucky in that he knows what is right and what's wrong and very well trained but it took many hours and still going !! Dogs are awesome and wouldn't trade him for anything.
What a remarkable man and family. I've learned more about raising cattle in 25 minutes than I have in 65 years of reading and watching TV shows. It's comforting to know there are such good people in our world.
No one would ever mistake Cy for my father but SO MUCH of this video was intimately familiar. It was like watching a slice of my own life in Western Montana. Thank you Scott (and Cy) for a pseudo-trip down memory lane.
I never comment on videos but I just had to this time. What a lovely bit to listen to for a while. Very interesting. Cy definitely has a way of talking. I loved this. Thank you for putting this together so we could all hear his tales.
It astounds me just how much practical knowledge and wisdom can reside in one old cowhand. It's obvious how much he loves his profession. All the intricate little details he knows about raising cattle. wow!
This is one of the finest movies, videos, stories, whatever, I've ever seen in my 75 years. It's a classic and essential story about the type of smart, inventive, never-give-up, hard-working people that made this country great.
More Please, these kind of people are so rare, and to be able to share his experience with so many is just awesome and important, so thankful for this channel.
I can't comment anything that hasn't already been said hundreds of times. But after watching this video, there's no way I could leave after just hitting the like button. I've been blessed to have been around some great men in my life, I thank God for the people he's put in my path along the way, but I sure would have loved to have got to spend some time with Mr. Cy! In a way I reckon I did, thanks to these videos!!!!
Cy’s a blacksmith, machinist; now we see, a cattleman...a treasure. A vet and a storyteller; I too felt like I was reading James Herriot. You know, Cy, like Herriot, there’s a demand out there for your published memoirs. We moved into a cattle-raising part of Texas 47 years ago, I’ve lived amidst it ever since, but I learned more about cattle ranching in 25 minutes tonight. Happiness and long life. Thanks.
That was the quickest 25mins ever, I’m sure there is dozens of these comments already but I could listen to Cy for days. Just a real man with real skills and do we ever need more of them these days.
I started watching this video with a huge smile and total awe for what Cy has/is doing in life... and by the end of video I had tears in my eyes still in awe of Cy's life stories. Scott, we thank you for taking the time to document the life of a real true cowboy. Without people like you and Nate to get out and capture such amazing stories, today's children would never know what it was to play real "Cowboys" and indians. It so obvious why you love this man so much... because we do too and we've not even been able to shake his hand as you have.
I feel I would seriously benefit from 1% of this man's fortitude and experience. At the very least, I am better for having just watch him share this. Thanks, Wadsworths and Swans!
Thank you EC. Thank you Cy Swan for the story of a good cattlemen someone that is willing to do anything it takes to raise and care for the cattle. I grew with dairy cattle a different life style but, still cared for the cattle a 24/7 job that is never done. I wish you many more years of working with them. Merry Chirstmas to all.
As a city boy from Australia who is now out in rural Oregon with my own cows, goats and sheep, listening to this was inspiring. I had come in from the field because my hands were freezing as I was setting a new gate in a pasture. After listening to this, I'm going to get back out there. I have my dog here by my side and I damn near teared up with the story at the end about Skibby. What a good boy. What a shame :(
Couldn’t help but notice while I was clicking the “Like” button that there were some dislikes. I guess I’ll never understand why people don’t appreciate quality character of conviction and integrity.
I used to work for a horse/cattle rancher here in Oregon, a long time ago. He was a small, 75 year old Italian man. Tough as nails but had a good sense of humor and was always nice to me. I haven't thought about him for years. Thank you for sharing that 🙂
Beautiful. Love Cy's soft, whispering voice. Beautiful editing too These tough people, this hard work, perseverance and grittiness is what we in Europe think when someone says America The past And yes, I cried a bit. Almost nothing.
I really enjoy listening to Mr. Swan. I am 50 years old and he reminds me of my dad and another older man that I used to work with when I was only 10 years old. That old man was 72 in 1980 and was harder than his hickory ax handle. My dad was strong and tough too but this old man could keep up with my dad cuttin and splitting timber all day. Mr. Swan just reminds me of the kind of men that founded this nation and blazed the way westward into the unknown expansion that would later come to be called these United States. Love listening to Mr. Swan and you as well Mr. Wadsworth.
Watching this and listening to Cy brings so many great memories of working cattle with my father and grandfather. There's no better meal than the dinner you earn after a long day of rounding up and branding.
Thank you Cy for telling your story. and thank you Scott and team for taking the effort and time to document and present these elements of history often overlooked
I would love more of these videos, I enjoy the videos you normally put up but being I'm a young cowboy raised in it this video has a special place in my heart. Reminds me of my Papa. Thanks for this video it's worth a fortune.
Thanks for a glimpse into a lifestyle I'll likely never experience, and thanks to Sy for inviting us into his life, and his past for a few minutes. Really cool video, thanks for posting.
I find that the mark of a good man is that he cannot, no matter how salty or tough he is, stop choking up a little when he talks about his dog(s). A man that won't do that is not someone i deal with.
Tommy Hellberg when my first dog got old and passed away I was pretty distraught. my dad said "I don't trust a man who doesn't shed a tear when his good dog dies." I'll never forget that.
Amen to that. I could not agree more. There is nothing with more loyalty and absolute unconditional love for a man than his dog. That dog will love you and follow you anywhere, no matter what.
Cy reminds me of a lot of old shepherds I have met,good men, outdoors most of their lives, knew their beasts and land, could make dogs into good dogs, alone most of the year. I will watch as much of Cy as he wants to do !
This is one of the smartest men I have ever listened to in my 51 years. I would love to work for,sit with or just listen to everything he says. A man can learn a lot from someone like this. Sounds like he has lived the life. My hat is off to you sir, I don’t even know your name yet but I will find out if I can. Take care 👍👍
I love the no filter, raw truth aspect of this video. I think a lot of people don't realize how much reality us farmers have to deal with. Something my dad always says after something bad happens is "that's the facts of life". You can shed your tears, but at the end of the day you gotta get back to working
Can you ask CY if he ever meet Casey Tibbs? He was one of my papas best friends and was one of kind in so many ways some of his records still stand today and some will never be broken. Cheers
Thank you Scott and Cy for taking the time to document this. I wish I would have sat down with my grandfather and documented his life. This is priceless!
I could listen to this man talk about his life experiences all day every day for a long time. They don’t make ‘em like Cy anymore. Love the channel and the content!
I couldn't stop listening to this. What a testimony to good old fashioned hard work and grit. I don't get choked up much, but the end of Cy's story about his dog did just that. Loved this piece - PLEASE do more of these!
Thank you Cy, Scott and Nate for all the knowledge, wisdom and true life adventure. Cy is a man who has true appreciation for the value of a good woman and a good dog. I love how he shares with us in such a matter of fact way, without any of the arrogant narcissistic chest thumping you get from so many of the other UA-cam experts. You all come across as people who I'd dearly love to spend my precious time with. Thanks again.
Thanks, Scott, for putting this video together. I was raised on a relatively small farm where we had about 200 head. Dad started with Herefords and then got some Simmental bulls. They were great for feed conversion but hard on the first year mommas. I ended up being the "doc" and Dad figured I had delivered more than 500 calves before I was out of high school. In those last few years, Dad did slowly switch to easy calving bulls although he was still high on the Simmental. Watching those calves being worked reminded me of my uncle's ranch in South Saskatchewan River valley. As soon as the snow was gone from the coulee bottoms the roundups would begin. Teams would come together at one end of the valley and work eastward until every ranch had been done. Horses, dogs, 4x4's, and a couple of helicopters. Like Cy said, whatever it took. I'm surprised no one mentioned the prairie oysters!
Wow i am blown away by this video!!! This is the best video on modern ranching on UA-cam by along way (probably the best video i have ever watched on UA-cam period). I'm a rancher in northern Utah and it is so good to see someone explain that ranching is so much more than just sitting on a horse. You bring up some interesting traits on the beef master breed i have never heard like how gentle they are and sounds like they have real good calving ease. Thanks so much for the video it was absolutely awesome!
Thankyou for letting us taking part of such wonderful stories and pictures,you makes the most valuable and worthy content on UA-cam all categories, best greetings from Sweden .
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. This is the greatest UA-cam channel of all time for many reasons. I do not think that is hyperbole

There are so many voices in this world but there are very few that make you want to stop and listen.
Scott and Cy are two of the few.
Very well said.
I couldn't agree more
This video has pop up about every 6 months for me for the last couple years, and I have to watch it every time…. True grit, true America, truly missed. Thanks for E.C. for sharing and trying to do your part to keep the important things in life, family, work and country from disappearing.
This man is the cut cloth version of the America I adore.
So well said
My god yes
damn straight
If every young man had to spend a month with Cy, the world would be a better place.
because he would put most of them down?
@@snower13, What the hell does that mean ?

@@snower13, I'm sorry, didn't mean to ruin your day.
@@snower13 It didn't ruin the joke, because I read your first comment first, and was still laughing when I read the others.
When a real man like Cy chokes up when referring to a dog you know it was a really good dog.
John Smith was thinking the same thing
John Smith that's no joke.
Put my dog down myself a few weeks ago, there are few things that will make a man cry, but man that's one of them.
@@hunntar, True. Cry like no tomorrow.
That even choked me up a bit.
I wish there was a button reserved for the best videos. "Like" isnt a high enough praise. Thanks for the video
that is the truth, Tommy!

I could listen to cy for hours. Always wanted to be a cowboy when I left school but there weren’t much call for them in the uk in 2000!

Men like Cy are treasures. Watching these traditions transcend generations is heartwarming.
It's the end of an era I fear we are losing and will never get back.

I'll be honest my absolute favorite episodes are all with Cy in them.
Hell of an ending, just going to start chopping some onions in case somebody walks by...
Raining in here.
> Dogs and horses are tools to be used until you get a new one
Wife gets attached to her horse.
Cy tears up over his dog.
More than tools after all.

You could do an entire channel on him.."Stories with Cy: An Oregon Cowboy"

Never a better testament to the relationship between a man and his working dog...amen Cy.
I could listen to Cy talk all evening. An old, better, stronger breed he is.
Cy is quite the storyteller and in the end made me cry. He sure did love that dog.
I’m 34 and this guys stories are great, like a grandpa. I need to spend more time with my grandpa, he’s not going to be around forever
That was the best 25 minutes of my week. Thank you for taking the time to share that
Thanks to both you and Cy for taking the time to share experiences and stories with us. Wish there were more of Cy's caliber of men left.

I love to see a person who really cares about their heard. Its a great way to ranch.
I sure do appreciate you posting this....The Greatest Generation of men.....thank you Cy, and God bless.
Poor Skibby, Good dog. Rip. Keep recording this mans stories, cause when he's gone, so are the stories.
We need an audiobook of Cy Swan stories! I could listen to him for hours...
This video is better than a big budgeted documentary. Thank you for making it. You gave us a Cy ton of wisdom.
I was a ranch hand once upon a time, but I dare not ever say that I was a cowboy. They are something else.
Beautiful. Love Cy's soft, whispering voice. Beautiful editing too
These tough people, this hard work, perseverance and grittiness is what we in Europe think when someone says America

And yes, I cried a bit. Almost nothing.

I worked dairy and had a dog for a sidekick... Alls I had to do was run and point... Dog knew the job better than I did.
Really enjoy these
I love him and his storytelling! Feet up, boots off and coffee in hand! Thank you for sharing!!
Love these videos Cy reminds me of my grandpa. He loved working cows that was his hobby.
Thank you Cy
Man oh man I could listen to Cy for days on end!!! Thank you for sharing Cy with us all
Wow i am blown away by this video!!! This is the best video on modern ranching on UA-cam by along way (probably the best video i have ever watched on UA-cam period). I'm a rancher in northern Utah and it is so good to see someone explain that ranching is so much more than just sitting on a horse. You bring up some interesting traits on the beef master breed i have never heard like how gentle they are and sounds like they have real good calving ease. Thanks so much for the video it was absolutely awesome!
This man is a gem he's got passion
It seems a cowboy learns many lessons about pain. Tough life but very rewarding. Cy and Ec are national treasures
