The Cowboys are Brazilian

Picture a sizzling steak ,or hamburgers, on a grill during an all American summer. Perhaps while enjoying left over fireworks from fourth of July. Let's overlook the fact that most of the fourth of July decorations and fireworks were actually made in China. These are minor details when celebrating the independence of a nation. Besides, you have steaks on the grill and beers in the cooler, right? Between burgers and steaks one might consider the classic iconography of the American who worked on the range for all to enjoy that sizzling beef. The picture of a Texas cowboy or business man comes to mind. He may have a hundred heads of cattle grazing in a field while making deals for his oil operation in the gulf. If this is where you think that beef came from - you're in for a rude awakening.
