The Roundup

20 Comments

Apologies for the fuzzy photos, taken several years ago by this mediocre photographer with a mediocre camera.

You want me to what?

To get up and move?

To get off my butt

And to get in the groove?

A cow hand today

Has no need of a horse,

His ride needs no hay,

It’s a quad ride, of course.

 

Just fill it with gas

And go roaring around,

No cattle will sass,

And to follow, they’re bound.

There’s always a stray cow

That has to be got,

But magically, ends somehow

In the cow lot.

    That’s a great post with your accompanying photos, Anneli. When cows don’t want to move you have to make them!

    Anneli, I love your poem and photos! It is quite an art to herding the cattle and collecting the stray ones – and it looks fun on the quad bike!

    Loved the hot of the Used Cow lot. Great to have a sense of humour. I think cattle are easier to drive than sheep, watching all the sheep herding going on down in NZ with both quads and dogs. Have a good Friday Anneli. Allan

    Anneli, a very nice roundup on the roundup, concluding with a visit to a used cow lot…a first for me! 😁
