My Grandmother and Grandfather
by Heidi Thomas
The first cowgirls, like my Grandmother Olive May “Tootsie” Bailey in Montana, helped on their family ranches out of necessity. At an early age they learned to ride horses, rope cattle, and stay in the saddle atop an untamed bronc. They competed with the men in those early ranch gatherings and continued to do so at the organized roundup events.
