Move Herds While The Sun Shines Ranch hand Jose Mendoza takes advantage of spring-like weather last week to move Picabo Livestock cattle from pasture to pasture. The cattle, a cross between Simmental and Angus breeds, are currently calving, and ranchers must sort the calves and their mothers out of the larger herd into a more protected field. After calving comes selling, leaving beef producers wondering if current record-high beef prices will hold. Photo by Willy Cook
