This photo was taken July 1999. Marvin Bradley is the cowboy who is up. He had just returned a wild steer to the 44 head that are coolin' in the shade of the oaks.
Marvin was thanking his dogs, Oreo and Moe for a job well done. They saved the day for him. This country is very brushy, with greasewood and
Manzanita bushes and dogs are needed in this terrain.
Marvin and his dogs were working for Fields Livestock on a week-long gather of 800 head in the California coastal range.
