Watch this film. It will dispel any romantic notions you might have about cowboys in the wild west. It portrays them as the ignorant wretches that they were. It is equally unkind to religious zealots and capitalists.The film is relatively slow moving, but that is likely a successful attempt to capture the boredom of the life of the cowboy. The sense of isolation in an unforgiving, vast expanse of territory is also brought out well.From a human/ensemble perspective, this film fails to convince. Personally, I did not bond at all with the set of characters whom I was obviously supposed to. The acting is somewhat better than mediocre. An exception is Anthony James, who evoked in me quite an infuriating response, but who has a minor role.

"The Culpepper Cattle Company" really looks and feels authentic, as if you are actually witnessing a cattle drive in the year 1866 being led by trail boss and cattle owner Frank Culpepper (Billy Green Bush). That's because, for one thing, a lot of dust gets kicked up and nobody is clean. And the cowboys talk as though they are real cowboys. They complain about the dust, and the food, and the work, and the low wages, and just about everything else. At night, they tell tall stories around the campfire, mostly about the women they've been with. Pete (Matt Clark), the best storyteller, spins a yarn about all the naked Parisian women you could see on the second floor through the glass ceiling. Hilarious.Two other interesting characters in the drive include the trigger-happy, touchy Russ (Geoffrey Lewis) and Dixie Brick (Bo Hopkins), who gets his kicks from seeing guys get shot. Those two engage in this crazy hysterical laugh before the final shootout.All of this is seen through the eyes of young Ben (Gary Grimes) who hires on as a little Mary (cook's helper). He wants nothing more than to be a cowboy but soon finds out things are not quite as he imagined. When he tells the cook how much he wants to be a cowboy, he gets told that cowboying is something you do when you can't do anything else. After he asks Luke (Luke Askew) what his horse's name is, he gets told that you don't have to name something you might have to eat.Expect a lot of violence. This was made in 1972, a couple of years after "The Wild Bunch" had set the standard for the wholesale slaughter of men.

My son and I just watched Culpepper Cattle Co.and I was wondering if you or anyone might know who sings Amazing Grace on the movie? They sing it towards the end when they are putting their dead in the ground. Whom ever sings it has a wonderful singing voice. I would love to know who is singing the song in the movie. I have heard this song a lot but never as good as i heard it on the movie. Im hoping you can tell me or maybe someone who knows can tell me. My son and myself thought the movie was good and would love to see it again sometime. My son loves western movies and thats about all he will watch. He really enjoyed this movie.I think if your into westerns then you would enjoy this one. it's a 1972 movie and a very good movie to watch. thank you for your time, Im hoping someone can answer my question.
