June: Turnout Time!
June is the Month when we gather the cattle pairs in our home pastures and turn most of them out on our Forest Permit. We have a 614 Pair permit. It usually takes 2-3 weeks to gather,sort the pairs, and haul them to different areas on the Forest Permit. It is about 35 miles to the main Forest Corrals.
