8That night, there were some cowboys on night watch near Bethlehem.
9An angel appeared to them, and they were scared to death.
10The angel told them, "Don't be afraid, boys! I've come to give you some great news.
11Today in the town of David, the cowboy who will save your souls was born. He is God's Top Hand.
12You'll know you've found him when you find a baby wrapped in a horse blanket and lying in a feed trough."
13And just like that, the army of heaven's angels erupted in praise, saying,
14"Give God all the glory in heaven, and on earth let there be peace for all the cowboys who ride for the Lord."
15Then the angels were gone, and the cowboys said to each other, "Let's head over to Bethlehem and find this little boy the angels told us about."
16So they struck a long trot and found Mary and Joseph. And sure enough, there was a baby wrapped in a horse blanket and lying in a feed trough.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

The wonderfulness of the vision, the importance of the thing related, the eagerness of their spirits to see the thing that was told them, put them on making quick dispatch, and hastening to the city with all speed:
