Neighbor called and said he needed help pulling bulls- which didn't surprise me because I help trail out or pull bulls all the time...But this time he said he had enough cowboys, but needed me to bring a trailer and haul one load out of the Cherry Creek pasture- that way he wouldn't have to make 2 trips- which was fine with me, since then I didn't need to be there until 10 instead of daybreak....And he's missing one trailer since he burned one up with his pickup taking bulls out this spring- doesn't have it all fixed and repainted yet...
Anyway instead of a horse this year I took the camera...You can see how sad this country is looking ( and this is actually in the area that has the most grass and water left)...I was talking with my cousin last night and his pasture is about 50 miles southwest- he's talking of weaning the first of October and doesn't think his calves will make 400 lbs....
Looking into the trap made out of panels and trailers....
Trap from the outside...
Slipping the first bunch into the trap....Some of these guys don't realize that next week they will be bull-ogna and bull-burger.....Thats my old buddy Donnie in front with the blue coat- he's riding a little 5 year old sired by my old stud...
Loading the first 8 in my trailer- 7 to go......
We hauled these to Donnies home ranch on the river....Then he and Ken and Preston went over to ride another pasture to gather- but they only had 6 bulls there to get so didn't need help.....He'll sort off the old bulls and anything else he doesn't like and haul to the sale next week...
