Riding For The Brand: Sage Country Book Three - Plot & Excerpts
As usual, when a large herd is gathered, we heard the cattle before we saw them. The five of us were pushing one hundred and three head of cows, calves, and steers we’d gathered up along the way. It took me back to when I’d first seen the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains. I was on a horse back then too, pushing more than a thousand head of cattle from Texas toward Wyoming. My friend Yellowhorse and I were working for Charlie Goodnight in those days. I had to smile. More than twenty years later, here I was pushing cattle again. As we approached Haystack Rock, rather than take the long way around, we chose to go over the back of a smallish butte. From the top of the rise we had a good view of the flats where the herd was being held. Below us there were hundreds of cattle milling about. These were all range cattle of mixed breed. Most of the cows had calves, some a few weeks old, others born more recently. Over at the base of Haystack Rock, a cow camp had been set up.
