So we just started our weaning process today. This is where we bring in all of our pairs (mothers and calves) and separate them from each other.
Its time for the little ones to learn how to live on their own.
So today, we ventured out to the far ends of the ranch, looking to gather 4 pastures in one day.
It was a long day of riding, especially since I haven't really rode in about a month. (when I say really ride, i mean from longer than 3 hours)
Today, we started out at around 7:30 and arrived home at 5. About a ten hour ride.
It was a great one. It felt so nice to be back on bruiser, cruising along.
We had an awesome group today too, about 14 of us. Jeff, David and Carla came over from the MZ, we had Mark from Australia, our new interns, Kathleen and Katherine, and the whole chico crew.
It was an all around stellar ride, the weather was superb, the cattle moved as smooth as silk, and the people we were with were just fantastic.
Things are good here at the ranch, although the weather is supposed to turn on us tomorrow, we will be riding all day tomorrow as well.
Here are the pictures and videos from today. Hope you enjoy.
The Boss Man. Leading us out. |
Mr. Allen Ferguson. Our Foreman, also looking like a boss. |
Jeff, standing majestically on the hilltop. |
Some lopers, running away as we ride up. These things are about 500 yds away. This is my camera in super zoom mode. Its legit huh? |
Oh Bruzer |
Look at his thick sweaty winter coat. He is also fat and out of shape. |
Hair justa blowing in the wind. |
