As the seasons change, we rotate our cattle to different pastures. Beginning in February the cows are kept in to pasture closest to the house in preparation for calving. In June, mommas and babies go out to the south leases, where they stay until harvest is done. Then they're trailed home and turned out onto the barley and hayfields to clean up anything the combines and hay balers missed. The next move is clear north, to the pasture that runs right up to the Canadian border.
That was today.
Greg took the lead with the tractor and a hay bale. Vegas and I brought up the rear to keep everyone in line. And I do mean in line:
The cows don't normally string out that way. The snow was anywhere from six inches to two feet deep, so they were following the trail broken by the tractor.
Lookin' just like one of those movie cowgirls!
I guess you could say our cows have a room with a view...of Chief Mountain
