Throwin a Cattle Drive Together
If you ever wanted to drive Texas Longhorns across open country, listen up. We have set our 2012 cattle drive dates. Our Spring cattle drive will be April 30th to May 5th. The cattle will be moved to a pasture with good spring annuals that need to be utilized the first part of May. The last day is a pretty good mountain climb while the earlier days are easier country. Keep in mind that easier doesn’t have anything to do with easy as in flat, arena riding! The nights of the 30th and 4th will be spent in our walltents at headquarters and the middle three days are spent on the trail, sleeping out at night, and eating at the chuckwagon. This is a real western experience- not a pampered trip. Hope for good weather cause we ride rain or shine.
Fall cattle drive is set for September 15th-20th. It is different country – more on the north sections of the ranch, but the setup is the same. Bill will be driving the chuckwagon and doing his good dutch oven cooking. We will be at headquarters the first and last night and on the trail the middle three nights. September is usually good weather – but we go regardless.
Both cattle drives are limited to 6 guests maximum. Riding experience is helpful since we will be driving 225 Texas Longhorns in a variety of country. But you can always hitch a ride on the chuckwagon if you get too saddle sore. The buckboard is probably harder than a saddle though. Either way – horse or mule pulled wagon – the cattle drive is a piece of the Old West. Check it out on our 5-Day Cattle Drive program page.
