30,000 on the Hoof

Bonnie LarsonUncategorized

We moved a group of heifers the other day.  There were only about 200 in the bunch, but it got me thinking about a book by Zane Grey—30,000 on the Hoof.  (It’s on my “List of Books to Read Someday.”)

I mean, could you imagine 30,000 head on a cattle drive?!  I would like to be on that drive…for just one day.  And it would need to be a sunny-and-75 type day.  And there couldn’t be any stampedes or bugs or dust.  And I would like Heather to run the chuckwagon.  Because in my mind, that is how it should be.  And wouldn’t that be so cool?
