OT poetic failure

I rent out my pasture in irrigation season. Today they came to herd up the
cows and move them to winter feed.

In years past "they" has consisted of two (2) cowboys on well trained
cutting horses and the roundup has gone smoothly and quickly. Today, they
were five (5) people on those ugly, noisy, disgusting 4wd ATV things. They
all just left, defeated by a couple young steers, still rooming the field,
at large. I've been on the deck, in stitches and LOL, watching these
guys and their high tech, expensive, toys look like fools compared to the
grace of old fashioned but beautiful, working horses.

.... wonder if any of these good ole country "outdoorsy types" brought
walkie talkies or GPS devices to make sure they didn't get lost in a few
acres of mowed pasture.... it wouldn't surprise me.

That's hilarious. I often help the rancher who owns my summer pasture to
move his cows. The horses enjoy it, and my Border Collie is in total
ecstasy. Cliff uses a four-wheeler, and it works for him. He could do it
by himself -- I'm just along for the entertainment, pretending to be a
cowboy. :-)
