This oral history interview with Alfred Jepson details his experiences growing up and working on a ranch in the Boulder area of Utah, focusing on his life as a cowboy, his family's history in the area, and the evolution of ranching practices. He recounts tales of herding cattle in deep snow, branding calves on the mountain, training horses, and participating in rodeos. Jepson also shares his experiences serving in the Navy during World War II and the Korean War, his return to ranching, and anecdotes about community life, including dances and interactions with wildlife.
