The crazy tiger stipe has struck again. Out of the 8 calves left, we got 2 with 2 riders and me on the quad. Because she took off with them into the thickest stuff she could find. Once they ran we only saw them once again. After looking for 2 hours we called it and hauled the 2 in. The plans now are either to put some dogs on her, or shoot her. After that the calves should be easy.
Now here's the thing. This has got me seriously looking into a horse now. Dogging those 2 calves was fun, but if I had a free hand to throw I could have gotten one myself. As it was all I could do was run patterns with the horses keepin the calf out of the trees until they got a rope on it.
The guy said he'll sell tht horse for 1700. It's full cow broke and 5 years old. I don't know nothing about horses besides a little riding in my earlier years, and I don't know what a good cutting horse goes for.
As for what he charged, he asked for 50 bucks, and it was an hour drive. I gave him 120
