96號農場 (Ninety-Six Ranch) 在1979年的最後一次放牧:1979107

沿著小道,這些牛仔們住在靠近小河或小溪邊的營區裡。每一個營區裡都有一個燒木頭的火爐,以及床鋪的小木屋。外頭是一個用籬笆圍起來的區域,可以牢牢捆住馬繩,還有一塊可以儲存乾草的空地,以及畜欄。不過這些牛仔的工作不是只有打牌自娛而已,他們還必須吃很多美味的食物,以及愉快的玩飛盤呢。

要花上三天的時間才能把2000頭牛趕在一起,同時還要再花上3天的時間才能把這群牛趕回牧場裡。經驗豐富的牛仔會用許多不同的技巧來聚集牛隻,並且讓他們聚在一起走回牧場。


Along the trail, the buckaroos stayed in camps near a spring or stream. Each camp had a cabin with a wood-burning cook stove and bunks. Outside was a fenced-in area to hold a string of horses, a place to store hay, and a corral. The buckaroos did more than just play cards to entertain themselves; they also ate plenty of good food and tossed around a Frisbee.

It took three days to round up the 2,000 cattle and three more days for the trail drive back to the ranch. The experienced cowhands used a few different tricks to gather the cattle and keep them moving back toward the ranch.
