Into the Pastures today.

This photo is actually yesterday.  Loved the reflections in a puddle.  There are a lot of puddles.

We did a gather south of Tosi this morning, and it was good and light when we crossed the bridge.

Hours later we got into the pastures.  This is the tail end crossing one pasture to get to the second one.

And this is where we left them.  We turned in roughly 1000 head.  Then is was a long ride of about seven and a half miles down hill to the trailers.  I'm sort of dead meat this afternoon.  Tomorrow we'll get behind Coke's bunch and probably take them somewhere past Tosi.  Their bunch is a long ways back of ours.  Which means they can keep the trailers sort of caught up.  Home around one p.m.

Easy ride this morning...

Crossing the Boulder Creek bridge

They go through a bunch of quakies that are a cuss because they're so close together.  Today's bunch moved so easily.  There was no fighting the trees.  We took them from past the counting gate where they'd been left yesterday to the end of the oil.  We were home by 9:30 a.m.  It was a gorgeous morning to be out moving cattle.

Barlow Hill to the New Fork Underpass

It was an easy gather this morning.

The ponds around Marsh Creek...

Through the underpass..then up about a mile onto the creek.

Then we loaded up to head back to the cutting grounds..and had a flat tire.  Kent has had a bunch of flats lately.
