Longhorns

  This is my first registered longhorn cow. Minford Beard gave her to me for doing some photography of his cattle and horses. She was 21 years old when she died. She had raised 17 calves! She came to live with me as a 2 year old. She was well traveled. She went to summer pastures from Kremmling to the Grand Mesa (above Grand Jct.) to her last years on Piceance Creek. She was always gentle, easy to gather and an awesome leader! The one time I was most grateful for her was when we were trying to drive a bunch of beef cows off a steep trail down from Grand Mesa. We could not get the beef cows to go, but she took the lead and they followed!
