Cowboys


It is Fall, time for the local ranchers to move their cattle from summer pastures to pastures that they will occupy until the end of the year.  There are herds in the fields on both sides of the ranch.  The herd from the Church family ranch arrived last Sunday.

 Cattle drives have occured since the late 1800's.   They continue today.  The distances are shorter.  The herds are different breeds now.  The comboys are mounted, some on horses, some on less traditional transportation.
