FEATURE - Wie ihn Gott erschaffen hat: Rancher Dick Powers arbeitet gern im Adamskostüm
Dick admiring the view (PA Real Life/Collect) *** Meet the Naked Rancher who herds cattle, chops
wood and goes fishing in the buff
Hunky Dick Powers sets Instagram alight with pictures and videos of himself herding
cattle, chopping wood and fishing in his family's 1,800 acres in the buff - dubbing himself

school, so I wanted a profession that would let me do both."

decided to leave Florida and relocate to the bordering state of Montana.
