“These are the times that try men's souls.” | Well we started to gather and move a small bunch to get closer to road to truck out next week. Branded them yesterday, also nice to have young help. They guy on the black horse is one my neighbors I run cows with he is 88 years young. Still ropes at brandings, I've covered a lot of miles with him and his sons. Some days good, some bad. At lunch time he came up to me and said this has to have been one the best days ever on the flats! Green grass, no dust, great women to cook for us! It doesn't get any better he said! I had to agree with him. It was my 28 th. wedding anniversary yesterday as well, can't believe my wife hasn't killed me yet! I've gave her a lot of reasons to over the years.
This ground is owned by three of us, all private, deeded to each other but we fenced it all in together. We share water, fencing, grazing. Lot easier to work together, that way you always have enough help to do a task. The mountain top we gathered off of had volcanic activity when it was formed. Big bowl in top, lava rock blown for a mile around it. It is just north of the Great Salt Lake in Utah.
