牛仔分類牛群的工作

有時，驅趕牧群回牧場後的分類作業會耗時好幾天；1979年的96牧場 (96 Ranch) ，需進行分類的牛隻高達700到800隻；牧場的慣用類別可分為帶著小牛的牛媽媽、乾牛 (dry cows：即不需照料小牛的母牛)、小母牛 (heifers：乳牛)、剛滿一歲的牲口、已斷乳的小牛(剛跟媽媽隔離開來的小牛)、閹牛、走失的牛隻(來自於另一個牧場的牛隻)及幾隻用來交配用的公牛。您認為牛仔們會如何處理屬於其他牧場的牛隻？

Sometimes the sorting process takes place a few days after the cattle drive. In 1979 on the 96 Ranch, about 700 to 800 cows were sorted. The ranch's usual categories are cows with calves, dry cows (cows not mothering a calf), heifers (milk cows), yearlings, weaner calves (calves recently separated from their mothers), steers, strays (cows from another ranch), and a few bulls for breeding purposes. What do you think happens to the cattle that belong to another ranch?
