100 head of yearling Black Angus cattle and 19 guest riders joined host and hostess Randy and Ginny Donahue for the Sierra West Frontier Cattle Drive this past weekend, July 22-24.  They made a 15 mile trek on horseback from pasture land along highway 3 through the Livingstone Range foothills, ending up at land north and west of Lundbreck near the Sierra West Cabins and Ranch House. "We have had people from near and far, and this trip we had people from Burdette, Sherwood Park, Edmonton, Calgary, Ontario and Poland," said Ginny.  On the two day excursion, the guests are trailered out to the starting point, and trailered back each day to be in the comfort of the Sierra West Cabins, where they were entertained by live music and cowboy poetry.


Ginny and Randy make this journey twice a year, in July, and once again in August.  This is the 7th year that they have invited guests to join them, starting in 2005.  "It gives people the chance to experience a real cattle drive." said Ginny.  Visit sierrawestcabins.com for more information on their upcoming events.
