Jim King
- Cowboy Poet -
Jim has been a rancher all his adult life. Raised on a farm in New
York state, he had an early exposure to dairy cows, draft horses, and
lots of chores. He started his first cattle herd in 1966, wanting to
"rope cows, not milk 'em!" Jim's interest in cowboy poetry began in
1986 when he was given a book of poems that dated back to the 1920's.
Jim now performs cowboy poetry near and far, but still tends to his
ranch near Chico, California. He has performed with such notables as
Red Steagall and Sons of the San Joaquin. His CD entitled Cattle Trails
and Cattle Tales features a cut with Ron Scofield.
