Moving the cows to the Palace. Copyright 2010 Link Bar Ranch Life. All rights reserved.
We trail the cows from the meadows to the sagebrush covered hillside. It’s been really busy since I last wrote. I hope to be able to be more regular in this publication, now that we’re getting settled in.

Even though cow camp (Cow Palace) is pretty basic stuff, it seems like it takes a while to get everything moved over to get up to speed. The obvious– cattle–and the horses to work them with. Then the vet supplies, then wood to keep the cabin warm, then some food for us, small bales for the barn, tractors, hay wagons……

Besides moving animals and stuff over, we have to move snow out. Corral gates don’t swing when the snow is deep. When we have animals in corrals, gates have to swing. So we have a friend come with his “Bobcat” a mini scoop and bulldozer to get in tight places we can’t get with our bigger tractors. He piles it and then my husband uses the tractor we feed hay with to scoop the piles out of the corrals. Then I can function with the cattle and horses more easily.
