Cattle Drive to Summer Range
June 12, 2009
Being on a cattle drive was always a lot of hard work. At least it was when I was a young man. We de-horned the calves, earmarked and branded some, and on those bound some day for the slaughter house, we removed the family jewels. By the time I was kicked in the ribs by a 300 to 400 pound steer, and bucked off a horse, I had experienced real western lifestyle on the ranch. Country boys worked pretty hard, and I was ready to return to the soft city life.
On the other hand, if I could be a part of the Burk family cattle drive from Squaw Valley, California ranch into the Sequoia National Forest every year, I’d change my attitude real quick. Just driving through this amazing sanctuary of giant trees brought me closer to the Creator each time. The Burks have been moving cattle every year to summer range since 1941.
Read this article, “RIDING AMONG GIANTS,” by Darrell Dodds in the Western Horseman magazine, February 2009, pages 22-27.
