Cowboying is Complete

Posted on April 23, 2012October 20, 2014

My company left… and literally within minutes, Vernon handed off his horse to me, and I was back “on the job.”

It was a tad hot to trail cattle today!
The thermometer said 81º after we finished lunch!
Cows are wrapped in thick leather and black hair and a winter of laziness in the fields has them out of shape!  They drug their “hooves” for the first uphill hike, then as it leveled out and went a smidge downhill, they were lined out and MOOVING.
The last mile is a fairly good pull and they needed a bit more encouragement to make it those last hundred yards!  The gate is on the top and with a little more pushing and VOILA! our last bunch is out in the hills!
Fifty head were paired up in just a few minutes.  For the most part, it was just double checking the matching eartags!
We loaded up the horses and headed home for a nice cool drink…
Cowboying is complete… for a few weeks!

Carol, Wyoming rancher

Since 2008, I’ve kept this photographic journal of life on a Wyoming ranch.  I share ranch work, my family, crafts and DIY, my English Shepherd, Bravo, and a love for this land.  Enjoy this red dirt country!
