Getting six bulls out of a two section pasture
They are coming
Heading for home. Every bull on the ranch will be sold soon, and I will start over next spring.

Followed by three riders
Through the shifting whispering sand
Being pursued relentlessly
On the march
Loading bulls to haul home. I spent the day riding a Polaris Ranger and checking the far corners of the pastures. It was filled with gas
this morning, and the mileage was zeroed out. By this evening it had acquired 49.5 miles. Cell phones also came in handy. These methods
saved a lot of miles for the ones on horseback. Altogether today, we pulled 21 bulls from three different pastures. Two of the pastures were
two sections each (1280 acres), and the other was double that size at four sections. All of these pastures were hilly and somewhat hard to
negotiate. The weather was perfect, with a high near 80 degrees. All things considered, it was an enjoyable and successful day.
