Not that I need an excuse to ride, but it is nice to have a job to do. Still not totally clear on what we did however. It entailed getting 3 hopefully bred cows, a cow calf pair and a bull up out of the field behind the house. The bull and cow/calf were sorted out at the barn.
Then the 3 bred cows were turned back out, moved through the field they were just in, and into the next field over. Then the bull turned back out behind the house. Then the cow/calf pair hauled up the road to the other farm. Then a bred heifer from the other farm brought back and turned out with the bull behind the house. J tried to tell me why and where everything is, "in case something happens to me," he says. I keep telling him to not let anything happen.
Meanwhile, the 3 cows were a little challenging, going in 3 different directions at 3 different speeds.
But J was in the right place at the right time and turned them to go through the gate.
Otoelene was a dream to ride, and other than a little wind, the weather was nice. Job done.

Nice that you can combine your pleasure with work. J seems to strategically move his cattle around like game pieces.
