Trailing the bulls out to be with the ladies. They were getting awfully hot and tired by this point but once they saw the ladies they forgot all about that problem. Typical males. Taken 6/2/2006.
I usually do this on the first day of June but life got in the way this year so they went out a day later. That's the way things work sometimes. It sure was a warm day to be doing it. It got to like 95 degrees by the afternoon. Good thing we did it early in the morning or we would have never made it with the Boyz. As it was they got pretty hot.
There was one really frustrating thing that happened that screwed up the fun of the day. SOME SON-OF-A-BITCH CAME THROUGH THE PLACE THE NIGHT BEFORE AND LEFT A BUNCH OF GATES OPEN. This required many extra miles of riding to get the cattle back in the right pastures after we got the bulls out.
Now that school is out, I got the girls out to help me put the bulls out. The younger one enjoyed it. The older one doesn't though, I make her do it anyway, it's good for her. Taken 6/2/2006.
This is the second time this week someone has left these gates open. I don't know why these son-of-bitching hunters can't close the gates when they come through. If this keeps up I am going to have to take my rifle and start patrolling at night around the hills to scare them off. A few well placed shots ought to do the trick. Why I have to resort to such measures is beyond me. If people just had a little respect for each other it wouldn't be necessary. Oh well, the morality of society falling apart, nothing new.
All God wants of man is a peaceful heart. Meister Eckhart
BTW, You sure never see beef cattle of the quality that you raise, here in the east, even at shows. Those are real impressive animals.
People do not seem to understand that if a gate is closed when they pass thru it, They are to LEAVE IT CLOSED. I came home one day and found my place a mess. Someone left our gates open. All the horses were in all the wrong places. Weanlings were back on their mommas, two that did not get along were together in a paddock, a young stud colt was in with fillies. The vet and neighbors put them all in best as they could.
Leaving gates open is stupid.
With your camera properly hidden and stealthy, I'll bet you'll find out who has been leaving your gates open or hunting without permission. Please take your camera with you when you confront the violators, the looks on their faces would most likely make for a real good priceless comercial if you know what I mean. Good hunting and good luck.
