Headed up to the Centennial Range today. These guys raised the question while they grazed in the Targhee National Forest.



These guys had the answer.



Some of our SE Idaho ranch hands at work, moving cattle off the public lands.



A little way up the road, there was a large crew of cow hands branding this seasons calves and castrating the bull calves.

I may have a personal preference to not have sheep and cattle on the public lands, but I have to admit that scenes like this take me back a long way - to the late '40s and the '50s in the Sierra Nevada in Northern California.
