We enjoy our traditions, horsemanship, roping skill, and the social aspect. But it's hard to find guys capable of riding the canyons, and making it back out with all of the cattle.Well got the truck out of the ditch, pulled it out with a john deere 4850.
We gate sort our cattle, in an alley, on foot, then run em thru the chute. 2 guys can brand alot of calves in a day. Nobody ropes calves and drags em to the fire around here anymore I dont think. Most cowmen these days dont even have horses. Good to see some guys keeping the old ways alive.
The branding up on top will be more laid back. Not a big bunch of cattle, an easy gather, not far off of the highway, in pretty country. Food should be better than dry camp, and there's always beer.
If it don't interfere with your trip, you should come too. Bring that young fellar, with his new boots. I've got a nice palomino mare, that he can ride.
