The reason behind the fading of the concept is the harsh life that cowboys lead and if some thing is so harsh on someone's body, how can you expect that youngsters will get attracted towards that profession and take the profession to the next generation.

And it is for this reason that youngsters are not opting for the profession of Cowboy.
