Horse Drive:  Early in the spring during April , they trail their mare band into the ranch for the summer.  Their colts are born at the ranch and in May and make mare bands and turn in the studs for the season.  Late in the fall they trail these same mares back to Wyoming with their colts, November 2008 (cold weather).
