After a spell, it is important to make sure that all the pairs have made their way to the correct pasture, sometimes some make their way to a different pasture so we prowl, find em' and and move them to where they're supposed to be.
So we make our way through the purple verbenia...
...find the cows and get 'em moved home.
It's always a pleasure to be able to spend a day horseback!
Another job well done by our Cowboy Up! crew!
