The cowboys will start moving cows down in a couple weeks. Mostly to stage them to pull the calves in a month. But the majority of the cows stay out until the great white cowboys shows to chase them out of the hills. A couple years ago B got a call while at the super bowl party (early February). Someone had been up in the hills on a snowmobile and ran into a bunch of his cows. They went up the next day with a snowmobile and 2 quads chained up on all four. They got the cows down. He referred to them as the Donner party. They went into a separate pen where they got fed extra. I know a month or two later he told me he as happy that 7 out of the 9 had calved. He was calling it a win.
