I helped a friend of mine who had twenty five hundred head of black white faces. He filled the bed of his pick up with oats and went the top of a hill and called. The bulls came running and everything else followed. All we had to do was keep them together. We used horses and dogs. It still took the entire day to move them. Then he would have a bar b que in the town square and invite the town. I have no idea how many head he went through at the party. The leftovers he gave to the Salvation Army.
Your photos bring back some great memories - thanks for the super shots

Glad I could bring back some fun memories for you! When we first started helping our friends, we did use horses...but I have to say...it's a lot easier and faster with the Rangers!
Good photos! Been there done that. Even though I walked the ground first, I got a Wildland Fire Truck in to the frame. Took a big tractor to haul it out.
Every off road vehicle I've ever had I have buried at one time or an other. In the Army I even buried a deuce and a half, while trying to recover...a deuce and a half Took an M60 to get us both out

About 1986 the 259th Engineers buried a 5 yard loader and then a D-8 cat with blade and ripper in a meadow on Camp Navajo. The right side track was below ground level.We got it out with a chain saw and a lot of timber.
