The Last Pass

We moved cows today. It took eight and a half hours. After that, there was still hay to cut and beans to irrigate, a cow tank to fill, an O-ring to replace, trailers to unhitch, electric fence to set up.


Erica is making the day's last pass over the alfalfa. These bones are tired.

Now, lest someone is shocked and horrified at the lack of straightness in those windrows, there IS a good explanation!

wow, Mom! That's a really good picure...so perfect!

(you were tired, Erica. They look great to me for someone who's been working cattle for almost 9 hours)
