What struck me is how recent some of those are. 1920s and 1930s. Not that long ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jabez Cowboy,SASS # 50129 Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 As late as the Mid 1980s the Coldstream Ranch held twice yearly Cattle drives between summer grazing and back for Fall and Winter Range ... The drive was about 60 miles with around 2,500 pairs ... and was done on horseback .... The fall gather on the Waldron is still done on horseback and takes 1-2 weeks ....

Alpo Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Ah. When I hear the term cattle drive, I visualize a bunch of steers going to market. Not cows and calfs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Five-cent beers and hard-drinking horses. 1905. Pretty much still looks like that. All them fella's still shoot now and then but lost track of the young lady second on the right but she never did drink much. come on down and meet the gang. Smudge (BP) match May 15th / Annual Cowboy July 16-17 / BP Regional Sept. 11th. Who knows you might have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
