Good morning Highway 135 Travelers! We’re back! The cows are coming home! This coming Tuesday, September 30, 2025 we will be bringing a herd down Brush Creek Road from Trampe’s gate to across from Skyland. Look for us from 12-3 pm.
The next morning, Wednesday October 1, 2025 we will bring that same herd down Highway 135. Look for us between 7:30 and 9:30 am heading south from Riverland and mile marker 22.
This begins our fall gather, so I’ll try and keep you updated on the big drives … but we will have herds crossing the road randomly so please be aware of what’s happening outside your vehicle. As always, slow down, be safe, and enjoy the ride!
