Texas Legends 2012 Production Sale - Waggoner Ranch - Electra, Texas
Almost 100 horses sold at the Texas Legends 2012 Production Sale held at the historic Waggoner Ranch in Electra, Texas yesterday. Inside the sale barn, cowboys showed off ranch horses' skills and ranchers found great horses at great prices.
Outside in the warm up area, it was strictly business, as the cowboys prepared the horses to show for sale.

She's Got a Lot of Cow in Her
Get behind, keep them together, push them, into the pen they go. Back from retirement after two years on break, my sweet little ranch horse has a lot of cow in her. She knows how to follow a herd at just the right distance so they don't freak out and bolt for Montana, Missouri, and Mexico.
Our first try, and second, and third, and fourth, and fifth, and sixth, she made pushing and penning cattle easy. (Although I suspect maybe my sweetheart set us up with some pre-trained cattle. That one that walked into the pen all on his own was kind of suspicious.) I'm wondering what we'll try next. Hmmm, maybe separating cattle . . . without letting them bolt for Montana.

Working Calves
The crew of five saddled their horses by tractor light and had them trailered and rolling by 5:30 a.m. In the early morning light, they made easy work of rounding up the beautiful Red Angus, penned and sorted them. Then worked the calves quickly and calmly, sending them through the chute one by one, tagging, worming, and branding.
