A cow with a bell, one of a group grazing in Lower Gardner Meadow in the Carson-Iceberg Wilderness. Grazing was grandfathered in as part of the agreement to set up the wilderness area. Sierra Nevada, California.

These cattle are grazing in Lower Gardner Meadow, in the Carson-Iceberg Wilderness in California's Sierra Nevada. Normally grazing is forbidden in wilderness areas, but it was specifically grandfathered in here as part of the agreement establishing the wilderness area. Many of the cows are wearing bells (see inset), so the clanking of cowbells in the wilderness is a bit incongruous! I don't know if the cowbells make the roundup easier, or warn hikers, or scare the bears, or what.

An iconic scene in the American West--moving cattle on horseback! It's still done, tho not nearly so much as it was. They'll often use ATVs to move the cattle these days--not nearly so picturesque! Duck Creek Valley, Nevada.

Grazing near Little Fish Lake, now dry, Nye County, Nevada, USA. Looking south. Sort of an iconic image of the American west ;) Map location, as per usual, is approximate.

Range cattle right along the Jeep road. Toquima Range, Nye County, Nevada, USA.

Just off the Bruneau River, in extreme northern Nevada, USA.
