Yay! Accomplished this little job in between raking leaves and cleaning house! Amazing how easy it is if you don’t wait until 11 pm to do things like this! Here’s a little slide show, sharing our 5 hours of trailing cows to our Shaw Pasture. Beautiful day… 60 something degrees… no wind… barely any dust……

Minute Movie: Trailing By
This Minute Movie is twice as long as normal… but I just couldn’t resist the peacefulness that saturates this video! We are letting the cows trail by… Vernon on horseback in the middle of the gate, getting a good count as they walk past. Daniel leaves my side, and walks to the back of the…
Tag Team
We moved 70 or so pairs a couple of miles today. It was warm on the mountain, though we all came prepared with jackets or sweatshirts… never quite trusting that it won’t be cold and breezy! Lucas really wanted to come, but I think it would have been just a smidge too much. We thought…

Upon the Ground
The gate post was wrapped in smooth wire. The barbed version was saved for the gate and connected fence. Tacked with fence staples was an decrepit sign, illegible due to occasional rain, fiercely driven snow, and brutal wind that sandblasted the words into the cosmos. Although this day was respectable, she’d met each variety of…
Quick Shot
Up the mountain we went today! These cows have been in what we call “The Partnership” pasture. This time of year is a bit late to be headed UP the mountain, but with our overabundance of larkspur in our mountain pasture (it’s kinda pretty, but deadly poisonous to cattle, until it’s dried up) we have…
Looking Happy
Wow, guys, Amazing Job with The Game yesterday! I thought you all showed great imagination! We need to finish this story! What’s coming through the fog???? Big Thanks to Belle, Patr, Joy, Dana, Ketra, Terry, and Cammy for joining in! That was FUN! **** Daylight found us on our way up the mountain. It was…
Minute Movie – Trailing from Ritchie’s Pasture
From a few days ago… a Minute Movie showing the cows trailing in from the Ritchie Pasture. I love doing this… The cows know where to go. The cows are nicely paired. All I have to do is gather them in Ritchie’s, push them around the field, (OK, I did have a little problem at…
Bull Pasture Gather
OH, MY! Somehow I thought today was going to be a short day… So how come supper was at 8:30? I’m falling asleep at the keyboard, so tonight, just one photo… Gathering out of the Bull Pasture… yes, we had to put cows in here for a bit, to make up for some burned grass……
A Long Thin Line
This morning, Panama and Lucas and I kicked the cows out of the Ritchie Pasture and around some of our fields. Squint and you’ll see them trailing in a long thin line all the way around… Cool! **** July 12, 2011 Learning Manners July 12, 2010 Mole Hunting Wing Man July 12, 2009 A Distinctive…
