Recorded live at the National Western Stock Show in Denver during the early 1980s, this episode features Baxter Black and his poem, "Vanishing Breed?"

Length: 2:46 - Listen or Podcast from iTunes.

This episode of Ranch Rhymes is brought to you courtesy of renowned cowboy poet, NPR commentator and former large animal vet Baxter Black, who furnished Ross Fuqua with this rendition of "Vanishing Breed?" in anticipation of Baxter's September 19, 2008 performance in Elko.

Tickets are still available at this time for the Friday evening performance - call the Western Folklife Center at 775-738-7508 to pick up your tickets, and join us for a fun, laughter-filled concert.

"Vanishing Breed?" is found in Baxter's book, Coyote Cowboy Poetry, available in our online Gift Shop.
