That's more property than I have....and looks like you are using it just right.
Roger (Slippery Moon) sent me out to bring in two bulls on one pasture...that 'pasture' was about 15,000 acres...of rolling hills so it took me all day horseback with one good cow dog. There was no cross fencing but one and the Bulls would take off while I opened a loose stretch wire gate.....'Away to me' to the Aussie Shepard and that booger would get those Bulls thru the gate before you know it.....what a hand that dog was. Their ranch is about 78,000 acres.
It's like being back in time.
Heather does beautiful ranch photography...Roger, am old pard and her hubby, was killed by lightning horseback some years ago...miss him greatly....
