Railside Welcome Ends Long Cattle Drive in Pagosa
Pagosa Springs hosts 600 cattle and cowboys who drove 160 miles from Bluewater New Mexico to summer pasture in the Rocky Mountain town. A free barbecue, Indian dances, and a western dance marked the end of Great Western Land and Cattle Co.’s 18 day trek. Local residents expected about 2,500 attendees as Charolais cattle rest in 7,000 foot meadows. Officials noted the drive’s sentimental and economic value, with some saying the real cowboys would have continued all summer. There was also coverage of tax extension politics and spending ceilings in Washington, as Senate action loomed on a separate matter.
