Silvies River Flood Plain
As the winter snow pack melts with the warming spring days, much of the lowlands situated around Burns Oregon become swollen with much needed water. This shot was taken on the Bell-A Ranch where I was attending a cutting horse clinic.
The flood irrigation will allow the wild meadow grasses to grow tall and lush. They will be cut and baled into some mighty fine cattle and horse hay for next winter.

ReplyDeleteI love cutting cows! Its so much fun that and pairing out. It would be fun to go to a clinic and learn some more.
ReplyDeleteSooo jealous of your "wild" hay!! :)
ReplyDeleteHope your clinic was a profitable time Karen... I ran across a photo and link to an article about the Mantle family in Montana and their last horse drive... thought you might enjoy looking at the beautiful photography in it.

We could sure use some of that moisture right about now down here in Kansas. Oh and some of that beautiful looking future hay! Great photo. Have a wonderful week.
