After making this video, I know one thing for sure… it’s time to break out the new camera! The dust in my old one made some photos pretty ugly!
We gathered one of our pastures with a little bitty trail/cattle drive just over the hill into what we call our Horse Pasture. This small area, back in the day, would hold horses and not give them the big huge Mountain Pasture to run in. It leads down into the corral. Cows were separated from their calves.
Our system was well manned and everyone had a job. Quinlan and A. brought the calves into a smaller pen, where I took some into a smaller pen and Tess manned a gate with even fewer calves in it. Jaxon and C. cut out four calves and sent them to Brandon to hold in a narrow chute. Megan and Daniel vaccinated and Lacee and Reagan helped as needed. Lorelei and Vernon weren’t with us.
After their shots, the calves were turned out to find their moms and we broke for lunch. Quinlan and then Jaxon both found treasures… and I wandered around and around! Everyone mounted back up and gathered the horse pasture. The cattle now get to stay in the big Mountain Pasture. I figured they had plenty of help so I stayed where I was. It paid off with me finding a last minute treasure myself! It was a great day!

Beautiful scenery and cattle. I love how y’all get the kids involved and they look like they love it. On average, how many cattle do you run? I know it might get old but it sure looks like fun to be able to ride every day in such a beautiful place.
Beautiful Wyoming day to feature a smooth-running trail drive. Thanks for all the different views. Lucky to find 2 arrowheads! I loved being so “close” to Indy at the end.
Enjoyed watching this video. Such wonderful scenery & great to see the GKs joining in. Love the treasures you and grandsons found. Will you use them to make craft items or leave them where you found them?

Cattle are in great condition. Their coats just shine!
