They know the way—
only need a cowboy to
open and close the gates.

 

 

(After weaning, July 28, 2012. Enlarge to see the silhouette of a cowboy in the dust.)

      Under the tree limb between the branches and in the open space between the last two cows: a cowboy silhouette that I think is Robbin. In the Kubota just ahead of the cattle when I took this shot, we’ve found that many times it’s easier on everyone to lead the cattle rather than drive them. With their calves weaned and down the mountain for five or so days, these girls know the routine and are ready to get back home to the luxury of having only to take care of themselves. Thanks for visiting, Bev, and for drawing further explanation from me.
