Our neighbor is undergoing some health problems and it wasn't going to work out for him to AI 200 heifers as planned. I told him that we could just trail the heifers back home, as we still have some hay. I'll eventually need to buy a few more light birthweight bulls to breed to them. On Monday of this week, we hauled our horses up north and drove the heifers back to our place. When we arrived home after about a fourteen mile ride, we decided to take the hobbles off the cow before coming in to eat dinner. That is when my shoulder went kapooie, so I got to go visit the doctor in the afternoon.
Here are the pictures from our cattle drive.
Getting an early start
Green grass looks good
Mud puddles are nice
Going down the road
Cluttering up the roadway
Stringing out through the Sandhills
Counting through the gate
Traipsing through the hills
Skylined
Good shape to breed
Over the hills
Heifers checking out soapweed
Line of ladies
Three of the girls

Almost home
