Cattle Drive (AGAIN)
Spent a good 2 hours in the early AM this morning running down and herding some longhorn cattle that got out 3 times. The first 2 times they were on the 4 lane right next to where they broke the fence down and herding them back was fairly simple. The 3rd time we got a call that they were on the other side of town about 3 miles from where they got out. We spent 30-45 minutes looking for them before we found them trotting down the middle of a street in town. If you had been in Coeburn last night around 2 AM with a camcorder you would have gotten some good footage of two cop cars herding 3 longhorns up the back streets of Coeburn and down the 4 lane highway.

Hehehe, I would have liked to see that :). i got to herd cattle one. They weren't long horns. There were some cattle in a field near my parents house and one morning we woke up and they were all over the place. I herded them on horse back though.
I've always enjoyed herding cattle (on foot, mostly) but I never had to face a longhorn. Most of ours had no horns at all.
The longhorns were actually much easier to herd than the herefords and holsteins that got out a couple of summers ago. They were really difficult to herd because they each went their own way. The longhorns followed each other so all we had to do was make sure the lead longhorn was headed in the correct direction.
