Rogue Cowboys
Rogue Cowboys is a 501(c)(3) cowboy technology guild dedicated to keeping western workers economically relevant in a changing world. We achieve this by training and certifying working cowboys and veterans in cattle technology, drone operations, livestock monitoring, and modern ranch skills, offering innovative cattle solutions for today's challenges.
The organization’s flagship Cowboy Tech & Pilot Apprenticeship is a 12-month initiative running annually from June to June, blending traditional cowboying with emerging technology to create new opportunities for the next generation of western workers. Apprentices train together both in the field and remotely from their local communities through regional Rogue tech stations, enhancing their skills in rogue livestock management.
In September, Rogue Cowboys will host the first annual Rogue Cowboy Field Trials & 'Droneo' in Three Forks, Montana, bringing together working cowboys, drone pilots, livestock technology, and western competition in a live field environment.
Stay tuned for more details.
“We are building a guild that supports cowboys and rural communities. We train, certify and develop skills for real working Americans whose value has long been underestimated and overlooked.”
