With Jim branding this Monday, he asked Peter and I if we'd flush the draws on our horses as they push their herd into a smaller pasture. Sure thing.
Good start. Schoonover Rd. to Indian Cr.
Peter and I were horseback. Most everyone else was on ATVs.
Life just looks better off the back of a horse.
Cool country out here.
Nice batches of yuca plants all over.
This area was in the heart of the Coalbed Methane boom about 25 years ago. Some wells still exist.
Others have been turned into water wells for the critters on the prairie.
Neat little rock formations out here. Looks like a geode to me.
Here's where we came into play, the breaks. Steep little ravines that you can only flush by horse or on foot.
Bingo. Cows.
We picked up all we could find and trailed them to the other bunches heading to the ranch.
And pushed them all through the gate. Ready to brand.
Coalbed water for our horses.
Fun morning. Not too hot. A bit dry. Perfect for a couple hours in the saddle. It's good to ride new country. Start to get a lay of the land. Brandings are hot and heavy, right now. We'll see what we can drum up. On to the next one.
