Cattle Drive: Day 2


On the second day of the drive Monson woke up sick so it was just me for the first part of the trip.  Monson showed up later in the day.  (I think he was just scared of the morning cold.)
The second day we had to take the cows through town to their winter calving grounds. Before we got to town we had about 7 miles to go.  In this 7 miles my mom, dad, and little brother came up to see how we were doing.  My mom loves to use her camera and I'm camera shy but she kept making me stop to take my picture - which is just fine I guess because pictures make posting on this blog a lot easier.



 On the second day Pepper was very tired but he took the cold and the miles like a champ. At the end of the day it was my turn to feel sick.  
That morning we left one cow and her new born calf on the mountain so when we got the rest of the cows down we had to go get them. I was too sick to go so Monson took Pepper and went.
Monson will have to tell you his story of the calf and the killer mamma.
