Wearing a fancy shirt and a pink flower lei around his straw hat, a Hawaiian paniolo (cowboy) and his female friend dress up to attend the annual July 4th rodeo at the historic Parker Ranch on the Big Island of Hawaii in Hawaii, USA. Native Hawaiians became cowboys as long ago as 1847 when the cattle ranch was established on that Pacific Ocean island and grew to become one of the largest privately-owned ranches in the United States. Nowadays about 17,000 Angus and Charolais beef cattle graze on the Parker Ranch's rolling grasslands that cover 130,000 acres in the center of the Big Island.
