Riders of the Sky

We often see cowboys and cowgirls riding through the desert.  There are trails all through the mountains.  Arizona is a "Free Range" state, which means that the cattle has a right to be there, more so than we do.  So we often see cattle foraging through the desert.  Not herds of them,  just a few at a time.  There's acreage owned by the Federal government that adjoins our community that is used for grazing.  One day there was a cow that wondered into our neighborhood.  You're not allowed to do anything to them.  You have to call the rancher and he sends a couple of cowboys out to round them up.  I wasn't there when it happened.  It must be a real hoot to look outside your window and find a cow in your yard. I'd have been all over that one with my camera.  Anyway, here are some cowboys for you.
