Editor,
To the lazy, inconsiderate cattlemen who moved cows up Stinger Rd mid-day Saturday, Jan. 21. You evidently managed to lift my gate out over the snow drift to close off my driveway (thank you) however when I got home, I could barely open my gate enough to squeeze my little subaru through. I am short and probably old enough to be your mother and the last person behind the cattle should have left the gate how you found it as is the tradition in the west - or come back later and opened it back up. It should not be my job to dig out the gate and wrestle it open. Lest you think I am some out of stater who hates cows - I have lived in Montana most of my life, worked in range management, have moved a lot of cows, and opened and shut a lot of gates. In the summer it does not matter, gate is on wheels and easy to move. Still, leave it how you found it is always appreciated.
