Every year cows need to be moved from the valley bottom where they winter and have their calves to the public lands on the state wildlife area where they spend the summer. Some ranchers find the easiest way to do this is to have an old-fashioned cattle drive right down the county road, through town and up the state highway on a Sunday morning. Yesterday was cool and clear – good for moving cows and making pictures. Lots of people knew about this ahead of time and were parked in good vantage points to see the cows pass through Twisp. Evidently this is a slow time of year for entertainment around here.
The excitement builds as the cows approach town
They start across the first bridge
It was a chilly morning
This is a typical Twisp traffic jam……
Keep ’em movin’
One happy cowgirl
This is what you see from behind
An image in search of a caption
The little white one stands out in a crowd
I think Twisp needs some more work on its sign ordinance
I wonder if TwispWorks was looking to get their lawn fertilized
Good thing cows can’t read
Move along
Welcome to Twisp
Hey – no one said you could get something to eat in Twisp
My horse would like a mocha please
Thanks!
As they head out of town
Mom – where are we going?
Holding up traffic on highway 20
Passing through someone’s driveway
Who is going to clean up that mess?
All clear over here for the moment
Yup
