![How rancher Gary Lake gets ready for the Stock Show parade
“We dont really see Denver as a cow town anymore, but thats its history,” said Lake, whose cattle have participated in trail drives around the county. “We’re more of a circus than we are a ranch.”
In nearly two decades, a cow has never gotten loose, said Lake. But it’s something he thinks about.
We’re the ones who have to handle them...make sure nobody gets stepped on and get them back in the pen,” said Lake. ““It’s a little bit nerve wracking.”
That’s why he’s so selective about which cattle make the cut.
Some arent quite as pretty or arent quite as gentle to handle; well sort them back out into the pasture and leave them home. [We] just take the ones that enjoy going,” said Lake.
Others must stay home because their horns are wider than his seven-foot trailer.
Nationwide, horned cattle are becoming rarer and rarer. Horns can injure humans and cause bruising to beef, so many ranchers opt to raise cows born without horns or dehorn cows when they’re young. Just 7.8% of cattle were born with horns in 2017.
