Right after Christmas while everyone was still on break, we started riding and roping as often as we could. It was nice to rope while Jayden was still back on break. She got to enjoy it for a couple weeks before heading south. We lined up weekly and sometimes bi-weekly ropings all winter into spring until planting. We had a neighbor bring a dozen steers and invited a few of our roping freinds. occasionaly we roped the hot heels. Nick and his son Harry would rope, CJ, Tucker, and sometimes Cash and Tony. It was a nice size group and good people to be around. Luke was the number one chute helper. He liked to run the cattle through the alley and into the chutes. He was such a hand, he even leveled the ground by hand with a rake. We also had Latte who came out for every roping. The one and only cat that will ride on the back of your saddle if you let him. Jake helped once in awhile and would help warm up Tex for Mark.
