Description |
Mick McCauley roping with his horse. Mick was born in Helena, MT, on December 17, 1928, the third of five children, to Edward A. and Elizabeth (Vollmer) McCauley. Growing up on a cattle ranch in the Boulder Valley working with horses and cattle at an early age would become a lifelong passion. Whether workhorse, or saddle horse, he had a natural understanding of their potential and how to get the best from them. By the mid-1940s he was helping various neighbors with moving cattle, feeding and haying. On one occasion he, his brother Tom, and Harry Larson, were given the task of trailing several hundred yearlings from the Valley through the mountains west of Boulder to Elliston, for Mike Quinn then riding back. This is a picture of branding at the Compton Ranch in the Boulder Montana. |
