The Top 10 ways to spot a rancher at the beach:

Parson, Kansas — 10.  Who else will be wearing a Stetson with bermuda shorts and cowboy boots?

  9.  While the kids build castles in the sand, he’s scratching out a rotational grazing map.

  8.  He’s the one complaining to nearby sunbathers about how he bought BP stock last fall instead of retaining ownership in his calf crop.

  7.  Louder than necessary, he makes comments like, ‘some of these folks oughta use a paint roller to apply sun tan lotion.’

  6.  Despite his wife’s disapproval, he appears to be fascinated by beach volleyball.

  5.  Regardless of what his kids say, those guys wearing fanny-packs look stupider than he does wearing a pliers holster.

  4.  He’s sitting on a horse blanket.

  3.  The lifeguard is giving him the same advice he gets from his banker—don’t get in over your head.

  2.  He’s moping because he lost the argument with his wife about camping in the stock trailer—even though he promised to clean it out real good.

  1.  Believe it or not, he’s the only one there wearing an insecticide ear tag necklace.
