Each year some ranchers move their pregnant cow from more open range to
some pens around their ranch so they can give birth where they can watch
them. They close the highway down so they can make the 6 mile trek.
About half way they give them a break in a campground where they can go
to the river and get a drink and munch on some vegetation. The weather
this year was pretty warm (mid 40's) and dry and the lighting was very
harsh, so did not get too many shots that I like. You might notice how
sweaty the horses are. First time they have been worked in a while.
Here are the best of the bunch.
Cattle heading down from the road to the river for a rest and water.
