The steers will ship tomorrow, so gathering them from the Double Crossing Pasture was the first thing on the agenda. We have to make sure we have them all!
It’s not a bad gig… riding along on a cool morning in pretty country.
Of course, there’s the one part where you have to get off your horse, bushwhack your way through brush and short trees, urging Bravo to “git ‘em” , then finally remount and hope the steers came out of the brush!
We had a couple extra helpers on this short ride…
Notice they’re both on big horses…
Some sorting, some counting, some preparations, and a quick branding of the five we had missed… and, just like that, it was lunchtime and it RAINED! .82” out of all the little storms floating around! It’ll help this country out tremendously.
Yup. This is a good gig.
Find me here!
Why the branding? Do all that are sold get branded? Or did these get missed on the “real” branding?
So have they graduated to big horses or would the brush be too much for the ponies?
Hurray for rain!
Hooray for a cool morning, refreshing streams, “big” horses, helpful herding dogs, glorious skies, red rock formations , and the fun of teamwork! 🙂 Thanks for sharing it all.
