Spent yesterday in at the stockyards, reliving the life of a cowboy.
This was quite an operation with over 50, 000, 000 cattle, horses, mules, sheep, pigs shipped through here.
Arrived just in time to watch the herd being driven through town, just as it was done back in the 1800's.
Their horns measure 6 feet across, and they were very effective against predators out on the range.
Even had two "cowgirls" riding "flank".
View looking west into the stockyard.
Today we are hoping for sunny weather so we can see how effective our solar panels are at charging our batteries. Tomorrow we are off to Zavalla to visit Marvin and Annie.
Safe travels
