Corriente Cattle

This handsome gentleman is a Corriente bull. Sister Sherry has been pasturing a small herd of Corriente cattle in her pasture near the river this summer. The fellow who rents the pasture says that these are the kind of cattle that the team ropers like for their great horns. I really like the black tips on his white horns.

The ladies of the herd are all different colors --

There was even a yellow one earlier this summer who did not survive a rattlesnake bite --

When we walked yesterday, the dogs were much calmer -- they did not have near the energy of the day before. We walked up the pasture the other way so that we could get a better look at the cows.

Forry is beginning the process of buttoning up the RV this morning. Auntie Violet is ready to get back on the road. I think we will be heading down the Columbia Gorge. As we watch the weather reports, it seems like every part of the country is having strange weather. I just want to get somewhere without snow!
