A Treat On Cattle Working Day

Today we worked the last of the spring calving cows, 51 cow/calf pairs.

It actually started yesterday with me riding Otoelene and J on foot, rounding them up and getting them in the field behind the house.  Then this morning it was a smaller area to round up in and get to the barn. 

I still rode Otoelene and J was still on foot. 

Three pairs cut out on us going 3 different directions, so another lap around the field to get those in.  Otoelene was a dream and we even cut 8 yearlings out of the group in the barn lot.  I'm sure she would excel as a feed lot horse.  

M came and was a tremendous help.  

And can you see the treat in the background?

V brought little SR for a visit.  She really brightened up the work.  

We were done by lunch and then had a wonderful visit.  J even strapped on the carrier and took a walk down to the mailbox.  V said she thinks it was SR's happiest day ever.  She was too busy to even fuss any.
