Guy, Ginny, Darren and Don gathered about 95 large animals that moved through a broken fence into Jennie's pasture and returned them to Cerro Hueco. About 85 of them, along with calves, were taken to the NE corner of Cerro Hueco. In that corner is a dirt tank that still has a 12-15 day supply of water and lots of good grass. We hope they will stay in that area while the water lasts. Another 10 head (along with calves) were put back into Cerro Hueco but not into the NE corner. [Edit 9/16]
The 10 head that were moved from Cerro Hueco into the Knolls pasture on Sep 4 were found but we didn't have time to move them back to Cerro Hueco.
The fence around the dirt tank that is at the SE corner of Jennie's Pasture needs repair in 2 spots.
4 horses were shod last Sat - Winston, Guapo, Chitah, Buddy. Chitah was not ridden today.
We need 2 strong bodies to unload a trailer of hay probably on Sep 29. The exact date is not set because the hay hasn't been cut yet. The trailer can be left at the ranch for a few days until we can get people there to unload it. [edited 9/14]
The calves will be sold at the auction in Belen, New Mexico on Oct 26. See next posting for work needs. [Edited 9/14]
The dead cow identified by our neighbor was found at the dirt tank in SE corner of Jennies pasture.
