I was at the ranch the last three days, Thursday we moved cows. I was a beautiful day, not to cold and not to hot with a nice little breeze every so often. Not bad for the middle of October. We had plenty of help for a change, and it was a good thing, The owner is was more of a warm body on a horse (me). The horse I was riding is about as lazy as they come, had to keep feeding him iron all day, and the last three miles I was almost a foot with him. He just didn't want to do anymore, and I am sore from the ride. I'm not used to those long rides, I had only gotten in three rides this year, and the first two were not very long rides at all. I need to ride more; maybe I should get a horse and do my irrigating with the horse. Just maybe I would be in shape for those 12 mile rides, well it was probably more than that because I didn't ride in a straight line. The pasture is 9 mile long and 3 miles wide. The good thing we got all of them, well except that the one that died out there. A friend of mine found her, thought about cutting off her tag, but she was stinking to much. I kept thinking I was missing bull, well on the way to the neighbors corals, out in their gathering pasture there was my missing bull, and one cow. I'm very glad I don't have to go back to try and find any missing critters.
