The cows came home

[RSL]

Brought the last group home this morning. About -35C in the breeze, but not too bad. Glad I rode over to get them as the snowmobilers had left gates open all over.
Out the gate

Lining out...

The cows go marching 2 x 2

Over the hills

Across the creek

And eating the woods

To the bales at the top of the hill.

Wish i was closer. Looks like a fun ride. Cows look fleshy and great. Hope ya have a fine Christmas.

Just stumbled on this forum following a bunch of links. I'm not a rancher and know nothing about cattle - I love in the fifth photo how you can see how far the line has stretched out. That lead critter knows just where to go!

Beautiful photographs!

Nice pictures RSL,is it not cold on a horse at those temperatures?

Great set of pics! It always amazes me to see how cows learn their way around.

Welcome, Northerner.

 

[Northerner]

Thanks, burnt! Looks like a great forum.

Yes it is, but it is still a pretty good way to spend a day.

Any day spent doing something with the cows is a good day!

Shoot, a horse keeps ya warm! (Warmer than an atv) (Unless it has a cab and heater) I had to say that before Per or another mechanicalized cowboy did.

I enjoyed the ride RSL and didn't get cold at all.

Cows are in great shape.

Welcome Northerner, what part of BC you hail from?

 

[Northerner]

I live in Terrace. It's a little logging town on Highway 16 between Prince George and Prince Rupert. Although since you're from BC you might know where it is.

I'm originally from New York so I always feel the need to "explain" it. When I first heard the name of the place I had to drag out an atlas and look it up.

Busier than a cat on a hot tin roof H, chasing a possible political career. One of the young lads I have been mentoring in the cow business is covering my bases with the ranch but I haven't got him to post here for me yet. :!:

H, you need to get back on FB to keep tabs on Per's itinerary.

Thanks Per. I have been following your burgeoning political career via your photographer. Good luck in the upcoming process.

No facebook for me. I get enough civilization from ranchers.net.

Per, i hope all goes well for ya. When you become prime minister up there dont forget us little people. I would make a swell minister of hunting if ya need me. Or i could be incharge of the barrel racers at Calgarys rodeo. Just saying!
