All cowboys and cowgirls rode in trucks pulling stock trailers full of horses to the Patterson corrals, on the west end of the ranch. They split into groups and then pushed the cows to the pasture nearest our house and to the west. There were 21 riders and they were back at our house by 12:30, ready for lunch, with tales of Carly killing a rattlesnake and removing the rattles with her bare hands.
