Big Loop
Robbin and I called a handfall of cows from the far ridge and out of the canyon in Greasy Cove, part of Lake Kaweah when full. Seven expectant mothers chugged up the mountain for some hay. Normally, we wouldn't pull these cows from where they're obviously doing well, but this bunch was breaching fences a month ago to graze new Bermuda grass in the main lake bottom not far from the highway to Three Rivers. We'd like to have them a little closer to home when they have their calves.
Ambushed by most of the cows in the bottom of Sulphur, we had a helluva time getting the truck in a position to feed.
Hereford X calf in Sulphur
Railroad on Top - Blue Heron in an oak tree you can't see.
A few gray roan calves are showing up this year in different pastures. Some strange alignment of the stars and the genetics from our Hereford bulls on Angus cows. But they are cute and will grow into some nice, big calves.
From Rabbit Flat on Top looking down the mouth of Dry Creek Canyon and the Valley beyond as promised showers approach. We cut a little manwood (manzanita) before coming off the mountain, feeling pretty good about living a dream.
