The Culpepper Cattle Co. (1972)

Teenager Ben Mockridge naively begs cattle company owner Frank Culpepper to engage him as youngest cowboy for a long cattle trail to a fort, his mother barely notices. Instead of an exciting heroic macho life, it's endless hard work, dumb chores and embarrassment, even getting literally caught with his pants down, robbed of his horse, witnessing unpunished crimes... Grimes also learns a lot about himself; some of which he probably didn't want to know.
