Many ascribe to him a sense of humor (absurdly, we might add) but he’s a natural-born sentinel that guards pasture and herd. He’ll challenge all comers and the last thing you want to see is his lowered head moving towards you at a rapid clip. This little guy with big courage guards the fields on Qube Road between Valley Forge and Brenham. The countryside rolls smooth out here—just like the roads. You’ll have it to yourself most of the time.
Right before planting Winter Rye, you’ll find remains in the hay. The summer pasture has finally been chewed-down revealing the inescapable truth about the laws of nature. The fortunate left standing await eagerly the sweet rich flavors of winter—the molasses wheel and rye grass. This little drama is playing out now in Washington County at Valley Forge and surrounding pastures of Clay Creek Road. A peaceable Kingdom if there ever was one. And a wonderful environment for motorcycling.
Magnificent creatures as long as you keep your distance. This guy can be seen in a pasture along Longpoint Road just off 390 (between Hwy 36 and Burton) near Lake Somerville. The roads around here are all old Bandido trails but today they’re quiet, smooth, and open to anyone. Just make sure you stay on the safe side of the fence.
