[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1459542, member: 498"] Two things come to mind from the wife who owned a ranch in the high desert on the Oregon/Nevada line. She said that she rode for days some times only to come in to the ranch in the evening being able to say, "I don't know where the cows are but I can tell you where they aren't." She also said that a hired hand on the neighboring ranch said if it is more than a mile away and doesn't move I am calling it a rock. I worked for a ranch up in the Okanogan that ran 330 pairs on 33,000 acres. Lots of timber, rock, broken ground and steep ground. A horse was the only way to gather cattle. Quads were used at times and in places as a good tool. But when it came time to gather cows it was done horseback. Feed could be used to move them once they were in the hay fields at the ranch but it was of no use when they were in the hills. [/QUOTE]
