A team of riders moves a herd of pregnant cows along the Yakima Canyon Highway between Yakima and Ellensburg, Wash. during the annual Eaton family  cattle drive Saturday. The cattle are moved at this time each year from grazing land to a fenced pasture where they will give birth to their calves. (AP Photo/The Daily Record, Brian Myrick )

Question: Why father was a cowboy/dairyman who herded cattle on horse back in the mountains of northern California. Any member of your family ever involved in a cattle drive?
