  • Seagoing Cowboys and the Heifer Project: the Maryland Story
    Seagoing Cowboys and the Heifer Project: The Maryland Story by Peggy Reiff Miller This article first appeared in Catoctin History, Fall/Winter 2005 Do you want your summer vacation to include a free trip to Europe and $150 in cash when you return? You can at the same time be helping to relieve the acute food shortage in Europe.1 So begins an April 30, 1946, news release issued from the Brethren Relief Center, New Windsor, Maryland, recruiting cattle attendants, dubbed “seagoing cowboys,” to care for livestock being shipped to war-devastated countries. Many similar ads had been circulating throughout the country since the preceding summer in newspapers, farm journals, church publications, on radio, and by word of mouth. World War II had ended in 1945 – in Europe in May and in the Far East in August. Churches and governments alike had been planning what they could do when the war was finished to help war-devastated people get on their feet again. A unique church and government partnership, forged that summer of 1945, put sleepy, bucolic New Windsor, Maryland, into a hub of international activity. The seagoing cowboys, and heifers housed in barns of Brethren farmers, were the riders on that hub in and out of Carroll County. The world was their range – a world devastated by war but pregnant with possibilities. Heifer Project Meets UNRRA The Heifer Project was the idea of Dan West, a Church of the Brethren leader and peace advocate. In 1938, during a break in his relief work for the historic peace churches in the midst of the Spanish Civil War, West was haunted by the gaunt faces of mothers and starving children to whom he had been distributing reconstituted powdered milk.

  • Beyond Hunger: Communities of Change
    Beyond Hunger: Communities of Change In 2014, to mark its 70th birthday, Heifer International gathered a group of men known as the seagoing cowboys to honor their contributions and collect their memories for posterity. The narrative below, part of an article in a 2014 edition of World Ark magazine, gives some background and includes the story of one of them, Donald Struchen, as written by historian Peggy Reiff Miller. At the close of World War II, herds of young men and a few women crossed oceans with shipments of livestock for families whose livelihoods were obliterated during the fighting. We credit those seagoing cowboys with cementing the foundation of Heifer International, which grew into a global nonprofit that’s now 70 years strong. The all-expenses-paid trip overseas came with a number of caveats. The animals had to be fed and their stalls mucked multiple times a day. Seasickness was practically a given on the utilitarian ships that shuttled livestock and other aid to postwar countries. And there was no getting around it, the poignant stench from mounds of manure would be inescapable. For the young men eager to earn their credentials as seagoing cowboys, there was no waffling. This was a plum chance to do important work and sample a taste of freedom, all while setting out into the wider world for the first time. Teams of boys as young as 15 caught trains or hitched rides from heartland farming communities to the ocean ports where they would set sail. Those boys are in their 70s, 80s and 90s today, but their stories of adventures on board and ashore are as vibrant as ever.

  • Seagoing Cowboys
    Seagoing Cowboys: Delivering animals to post-WW II Europe by Peggy Reiff Miller A form of this article first appeared in Pennsylvania Magazine, Sept./Oct. 2006 Luke Bomberger still recalls how his heart raced that night 60 years ago, when his foot slipped off the rain-slicked step of the ship’s ladder. He had just made his hourly night- watchman’s report to the bridge, and as he shot feet-first towards the chained opening on the side of the SS Mexican, he knew that if he slid out into the black Atlantic waters, he wouldn’t be missed for another hour. Luckily, a two-inch strip of metal on the edge of the ship caught his foot and broke his slide, and as he pulled himself up to safety, he was grateful that he’d live to spend another day as a seagoing cowboy. In the 1940s, Bomberger, of Lititz, Lancaster County, was one of hundreds of men from Pennsylvania who responded to ads seeking cattle attendants who were willing to go to sea. World War II had just ended, and many of the volunteers, enticed by stories they had heard from returning soldiers, had seized this opportunity to see the world while delivering cows to people whose food source had been devastated by the war. Setting Sail with Cows The idea to send cows, rather than powdered milk, was conceived by Brethren relief worker Dan West in 1938 (during the Spanish Civil War). The idea was put into action in 1943 by the Brethren Service Committee of the Church of the Brethren.
