We are so very blessed that we live close enough to be able to be involved with my family's ranch as well...it's a true blessing! That said, we usually try to help (aka be there) to move cattle to and from sometimes, and its always a great time.
This past month we helped move cattle out of the Gyp hills to go back home to calve for the winter. I took breakfast stuff and a propane grill and made a breakfast mash while we waited for them to get the cattle loaded.
It was a golden day!
