While working the herd is no longer a part of my life, will always be part of who I am. I'm grateful my children get to experience this and make their own memories of horses, leather, moving cattle, watching baby calves learn to walk, and all of the responsibility and rewards that go along with it. There is definitely something very romantic about the cowboy way.
Cattle Drive...
When I was young I always looked forward to the cattle drives. It meant I got to be on a horse all day long, with my dad, and out in nature... even if that meant eating the dust and smelling the manure all day.
Painting cattle is a different story... I admit I'm having fun with this painting, but I just have to say it...
Cattle Drive... me nuts! ;)
