Horses head for the corral in the daily "jingle", or roundup of horses, at the A Bar A guest ranch near Riverside, Wyoming. One explanation for the term connects it to the clinking of spurs worn by the cowhands, the din of which, at full gallop, helps encourage the horses to get a move on

A cowgirl, one of several wranglers who herd horses in the daily "jingle," or horse roundup, at the A Bar A Ranch, a guest ranch near the town of Riverside in Carbon County, Wyoming. There are conflicting explanations for the term "jingle" in this context. One of the most accepted is that it refers to the jingling attachments to cowhands' spurs, the sound of which, at full gallop, helped encourage wild-horse herds to get a move on in a certain direction

It's spring calving, or birthing, season at Big Creek cattle ranch on the Colorado border, near the towns of Riverside and Encampment, in Carbon County, Wyoming. One heifer, a young female cow that had not previously produced a calf, is beginning the process of doing just that, delivering the amniotic sac or "bag of waters" protecting the fetus. She would immediately be surrounded by other cattle, who formed a protective ring around her (and hiding her from intrusive photography) during the rest of the birth
