One of the most beautiful September mornings to check if next years momma cows have found the new pasture , bovines harvesting the second cut @WildernessRanch north

[John Erb @erbshon]

The glowing September colors of my late afternoon annual excursion to the more remote parts of @WildernessRanch , checking to see how far the cattle traveled this year ,still some unreached areas . Always wondered why the previous generation had no back fences .

[John Erb @erbshon]

The most expensive part of cattle ranching @wildernessranch . The ruminants need to spread the manure not iron ,but inevitably what happens when the snow and then the mud gets too deep .Blessed with a beautiful day to do it .
