Okay, Here's Some Real Roundup

I am out of town for a few days, so the blogging this week will be of the pictorial variety. My Friday post was about the Morrison Ranch roundup. But here are a couple of pictures, courtesy of The Water Expert, of some cows on the Morrison ranch. The name of the ranch is The Windmill, and these were taken last Monday:





This was shipping day. All of the steers were shipped for sale, and all of the heifers were kept to continue to grow the herd.




We had to sell off about half of our herd a couple of years ago, due to the drought. The government felt the cows would be too hard on the forest in such dry conditions. Last winter's extra wet weather means that the herd can grow again.
