HEADED OUT

Last week we headed out of the fields and onto winter range with another herd.  We will take them over the hills that you see in the back ground.
It is December, but as you can see it is still really dry and dusty.  

I only went for a little while to help get the cows out of the fields.  The cowboys have things pretty much under control these days and  don't need my expertise much.  But, I got my old girl, Jewel , out for a little ride.

As you can see it was kind of cold, so it was ok with me not to stay out there all day.

Notice the cow on the right jumping.  When I saw this picture I laughed.

These days are perfect for the cowboys to do some horse training.

There was a large herd of antelope that weren't sure which way to run.

I caught up to the cowboys later with some hot stew for lunch.  I think they appreciated that more than me riding.

Stella the corgi came along for lunch.  Here she is keeping the cows in line.

Future cowgirl.  We start 'em young.  
I failed to mention that about half of these cows came back home the next day and the cowboys had to do this all over again.   As Lee Whitlock would say, " you never know what a cow will do".  I miss him.

 Here's wishing you all a wonderful Christmas and Happy Holidays.
