[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1496303, member: 18945"] I don't doubt that Fenceman. It's a different kind of terrain here and not many people rising cattle any more, so I just don't see or know many of the younger folks. You get a little west or south East out of these piney woods it's probably a lot different. Still lots of cattle being raised down in the saltgrass in Chambers and East Galveston county on open ground and lots more of it than my place or CB's..and a different kind of cattle too. The White Ranch down near Winnie may have more realestate tied up in just their gathering 'vee' than my whole place.

They pull the calves off, truck the calves to holding pens on the other side of intracoastal, then the mommas and bulls will swim over to the calves. It's interesting to watch for sure. Right out of this alley across the waterway into another alleyway where the calves are waiting.
