It takes three good days to get them home. The first day we left the ranch at daylight and made it to a holding corral about 5 p.m. We had a big bale waiting for them there. Day two was from 8a.m. to 4 p.m. to another drift fence/ holding area and more hay. Day three was on into town and had them home by 3 p.m. We used to bring them home in october and just camp with the cows. Then we picked up some private lease and are able to keep them out longer. The snow came really deep and made for a couple interesting days getting them all together to go home. We took 123 across the desert and the trip is right at 55 miles. We stayed in Delta, Utah (Home for the Cows) everynight and trailered back and forth. I live in Vernon, Utah, a little town north of Delta about 70 miles. We are 5th generation ranchers and feel priviledged to carry on the tradition. Hope to post more in the future. Thanks for your kind words!
