Here they both get used. The ATV's are handy and you can jump in them and go. No catching and saddling involved. But it is not good to rope a cow off an ATV. And we have a lot of ground which you just can't take an ATV on but a horse will go. So the answer is locally they flat wear out...
This is 3 Alaskan young ladies singing the Hallelujah chorus. A friend sent it to me years ago. If I were more computer literate I would post it here. Definitely take to time goggle. It is the best produced version I have ever heard.

The weather forecast says 30 mph with gusts to 50 mph. I don't know what it blowing out there now in mph, I just hope my cows can run fast enough to catch up with the hay.
It sure blew here yesterday evening and early this morning. We live in a hole. I joke that the wind has to blow straight down to hit us. Well it found a way to weave through the hills to hit here.
Between when I retired and we sold out over on the coast and when we bought this place and moved here. We spent 9 months in south central WA. I helped a shirttail relative of the wife's who has a ranch for something to do. When we were buying this place people asked him why at our age were we...
Hmmm I was 67 when we bought this place and moved here. But our operation is set up differently. It is not year around. There are definitely times of the year when we can easily escape to travel if we want to. It is fairly rare that I have to put in a full day. But I have something to do...
It is kind of funny. The first time I watched him preform must have been the fall of '23. He got invited to do a little poetry in Elko. Not the big show just a Saturday evening deal. I am sure it was a audition for the big show. I would say he was nervous as a cat on a hot tin roof except...
Click on his bio and pictures. Once there look at the Utubes. Phil's Eye Ache is the poem about the one eyed Swede.
When my computer went down last September I lost facebook and as a result lost contact with Darrell. I am going to have to reach out to him.
I have had the pleasure of listening to Darrell life twice. He is the real deal. When he did his one eyed Swede at Jordan Valley last spring the McKenzie kids in the row in front of us were literally rolling on the floor laughing.
The wife took ivermectin when she had Covid. I don't know that it cured her. But she didn't get worse once she started in on it. And she did recover a couple of days later. Me, I was well exposed to Typhoid Mary and just got a stuffed up nose for about 3 days.
