Got a "few" photos of shipping the cattle today, the ones from the family ranches, not the ones that are going back over the mountain on the 24th.......Thought I'd share with you guys.
Started out early this morning, to get the two steers we were going to send to town......
Sun coming up over mountain and two cowboys:
A little better pic of them, photographer moved around where she wasn't facing the upcoming sun:
And here comes the herd, they always come a-runnin' when they hear the pickup......
Trying to entice them to the trailer with some feed, they were a tad-bit suspecious:
However, hunger seemed to over-ride their better sense:
Dale slipped a halter on Sweet Pea, the milk cow, and tied her to the side of the trailer:
And then caught Miss Tillerie, and did the same with her.......
We worked and worked, to get Lumpy in the trailer, I finally had to abandon the camera, and go help......then it took even longer to catch Junior, cause by then, he knew something was up......
Finally Al roped him, and we got him loaded.......
Getting the horses loaded up in the trailer, after that part of the morning's work was complete:
Then, after leaving Peach and Little Dan at the house, we hauled up to the shipping corrals, and helped Dale's brother with that bunch:
Got Lumpy and Junior unloaded after while, and put Lumpy in with the "grown" stuff they were sending to town......they didn't look quite so "grown" when he got in there with them.....lol:
We had just finished getting those two unloaded and penned, when Dale's younger brother got there with one load of the stuff from down at the folk's place.......Al's steer (Tillie's little brother) was with them (he is the lighter colored of them):
Truck backing up to loading chute:
The "requisite" Wrangler Butt shot......lol:
Moving the pen Al's steer was in, to the chute:
He led the way into the trailer:
A cute saying that was on the back of the trailer, by the gate:
Good-bye to Blondie's son and Tillie's brother:
Going, going, gone:
Next stop: Deming Livestock Auction in Deming, NM. Hope last week's prices hold, after the stock market going thump over night.......
