Here is a picture of a group of cattle moving through one of the draws on the front side, or the ocesn side, of the San Simeon Ranch. At first glance, it just looks like a group of cattle moving on their own, but if you look closer in the middle of the picture, you can see two of our dogs moving the group.

Cliff Garrison took this picture from his horse. He sits on his horse at a distance and sends hid dogs out to gather the herd. This is a low-stress method of gathering for the cattle and it is also an effecient and effective way of gathering on the variable terrain of the San Simeon Ranch.
