Your corn looks great. I love home grown corn:)

The ranch that Jenny and I worked on was a working cattle ranch. We help round cows up sometime. After a few times helping tho, we told them we would do it if they just let me and Jenny do it by ourselves. We were horseback, the ranch hands were on 4 wheelers. That just doesn't work.

Jenny and I got pretty good at gathering them. Get them on a fence line, then one person stayed at the back on one on the open side and if you just kept them at a walk or slow slow trot, we could move them anywhere. The 4 wheelers tended to get the cows moving to fast and unnerve the horses.

I've also team penned a little. But that got to wild and wooly for me:) The kids loved it tho.

Team penning and cutting would be fun. I don't want to get down and wrestle with the steer, but I think driving him around with the horse is kinda fun.

The owner of the cow I caught came by and tried to give me $20 reward for doing it... I said - ah heck no, it was fun! Then he asked me if I wanted to go out sometime. I was take aback a little by that and nicely said no, that I had a boyfriend... and he was a LOT older than me. I was what, 22-23... he had been grey awhile. Bob said I should have, that that guy owns most of the open land in the area, and has a ton of money... OH WELL, guess it wasn't my fate to be rich :~D
