Cattle Drive Of Tipsy Cow to Coyote Crossing

The first Cattle Drive has taken place in January 5th, 1900 . Coyote Crossing Ranch has just opened a few weeks before in December 15h, 1899, and there was a plan to raise livestock, cows and chickens down at McFarlane's Ranch. That is when they approached Tipsy Cow Trading Post where Aurore Hopefield used to work and a good friend of previous owner Charity Lawson (Grussin) . They came with a big trade involved many items, instruments, food, material and etc. The convoy has left Coyote Crossing Ranch at 2PM with no stop toward Emerald Ranch, one wagon full of the items for trade and supply of food and medical supply for the way back.
The deal was made with Tommy True who used to be owner of the Tipsy Cow Trading Post, Aurore Hopefield and Charity Grussin.

After everything was unloaded at the ranch's saloon, everyone gathered up and started to head out. Herding the cows out of the pens with chickens in the back of the wagon with medical supplies and food for the way. They have traveled through the heartlands with many ranchers gathered around the cows and some security on the sides. They walk was not easy and the cows were wild, one of them even liked the horses quite a lot!

After a long walk and some issues on the way they stopped right on the crossway to Valentine, the people provided some food and rest for the horses and riders. Sadly some bad events have also happened, this what happens when you give people Peyote. They have stopped down the Dakota River, to refresh and let the cows graze and drink as well. Thankfully no injuries and no trouble was caused, the ride was peaceful so far.


They continued through the Great Plains, no stop, during night with many security to protect from wild predators around the area of the south. Even when the cattle manage to spread out, the ranchers bring them back in with short stops and keep moving forward. At the end, the cows and chickens arrive safely to the ranch. Tommy True calls out a loud "Yeehaw!" and everyone after him! People enjoying the rest of the long journey, but sadly it doesn't end so good for one cow.

One Cow called Sassy, believed the one who ate the Peyote earlier in the drive, has fallen off a cliff due to hallucinations and was found by a few folks off the Canyon. She was pronounced dead by Varun Torino.
