Cowboy'in it up

Here we are in Orangeville, Utah at Kelli & Gary's house. The live in the canyon going up to Joe's Valley Reservoir.

This is the weekend that their cows will be moved up to the mountain. Unfortunately we are leaving in the morning and won't be able to help with that.



However there was alot of prep happening today and Bob is so happy to be a cowboy. Here's Bob and Gary saddling up the horses to go look for three missing cows.



A cowboy's work is never done.


The New Age Cowboy's wear spurs on their Merrills.

They had to move the cows to different corrals so that the Forest Service guy could paint and count them as they moved through the shoots. Black cows got a white stripe and the others got a black stripe. This is because only so many are allowed on the mountain and I guess this is the Forest Services way of keeping track. Here's a black cow with a white stripe. It doesn't seem like the paint would last very long.


Come on gals, that's not very lady like behavior. Here are two nursing mothers butting heads.

Bob herding cows into be pin-striped.

Now that is one GOOD LOOKING COWBOY. I think I'll take him home with me.

This is what they did before lunch.



Someone had to test the beer to make sure it was cold for when the Cowboys came home!
