I WANT TO BE A COWGIRL!

ALL I WANT TO BE WHEN I GROW UP ....

IS A ROOT'N TOOT'N COWGIRL!

I’m a wanta’ be COWGIRL!
Yep, that’s right par’ner!
I want to saddle up my horse and
ride into the sunset;
or at least ride into the hills
with my red cowgirl boots upon my feet
and my suede cowgirl hat upon my head!
 

Yea right ….I must be dreaming!
It would be fun though, to sit upon a saddle and round up about 700 head of buffalo! For those wanna be cowboy's and cowgirl's for a fee of $25.00 each and one’s own horse, you indeed can participate in the Annual Bison Roundup.

Only those with ‘brave spirit’ need apply!

This past weekend we ventured out to Antelope Island on the Great Salt Lake to view the 23rd Annual Great Bison Roundup. It was really a treat to see cowboys and cowgirls in the saddle rounding up a large herd of Bison. Really makes one want to become a cowgirl!

For those who wish a bit of history on Antelope Island. Antelope Island is located on the Great Salt Lake. Antelope Island is the largest of the Great Salt Lake’s nine islands and is part of the Utah State Park systems. From the mainland, its 28,022 acres appear barren and deserted. But Antelope Island is home to a variety of flora and fauna native to the Great Basin region. The island was without its namesake antelope for many years, but they were reintroduced in 1993 and can now be seen in many areas of the park. Deer, bobcats, coyotes, many varieties of birds and waterfowl also call the island home. But most famous are Antelope Island's American Bison, introduced to the island in 1893 and now numbering some 600 animals. The world-renowned herd is managed by the Utah Division of Parks and Recreation and visitors are welcome at the island's buffalo corral and management facilities. During the annual bison roundup each November, visitors can get a close-up look at the bison and the techniques used on a working buffalo ranch.

YEP! ....I JUST WANT TO BE A COWGIRL
WITH RED BOOTS UPON MY FEET!
