Main 442-1034 Mon-Fri 9 am-6 pm Sat 9:30 pm Sun 11 am-4 pm ust read a late 1800s newspaper article in which a prominent cattle rancher was referred to as a rustler, but there was no insult intended. Although cattle stealing was called rustling at that time, the editor was using the word in its complimentary sense, meaning someone who was an eager and willing worker a gogetter.

The first time I ran across that use of the word it was in an article describing Hereford cattle as good rustlers. This conjured up a picture of a black hatted, masked band of renegade cattle, stealing into a quiet pasture and stampeding off with some hard-working rancher's entire herd. What got me thinking about rustling was another 19th Century article about a new branding procedure. Cattle were run into a chute which had a floor something like a cattle guard. Then the floor was raised up until the rails rested on the animal's stomachs, and their legs hung down, not quite touching the ground.

While in this helpless condition, they were branded with (according to the article) less fuss than in the traditional method. I mentioned the story to a friend who said that a similar technique had been used to steal pigs.

I can only assume that they were small pigs or strong thieves. The entire operation seems like an awful lot of work to me. What this country needs is fewer rustlers (1. To steal, as cattle) and more rustlers (2. To forage actively.)
