Cattle gather for grass and trucks in Flint Hills
In the Flint Hills a cattle gathering unfolds as ranchers and cutting horses move steers into pens and onto 15 trailers. Morning scenes show cattle, horses, and riders under moist, overcast skies with dawn sounds and the daily logistics of sorting by size and horn length. Senior editor Bill Snead notes the busy tracking back to April, with rancher Don Maule and others guiding the herd into trucks for transport.
