🐎🍂 ’TIS THE DAY OF THE ROUND-UP! 🍂🐎
Panther Creek Fall Cattle Round-Up — 2026
’Tis the day of the Round-Up, the sun's coming bright,
The cowboys are stirring from a cold autumn night.
The saddles are ready, the horses stand near,
It's Round-Up time at Panther Creek, our favorite time of year!
🐎
The coffee is brewing, the boots hit the floor,
Some cowboys are ready, some need a little more!
The trailers are parked and the campfires burn low,
There's cattle to gather, so it's time to go!
🐎
The horses are saddled, the cinches pulled tight,
The riders are hoping their horses act right.
The cattle are scattered on hills far and wide,
Not knowing today they'll have nowhere to hide!
🐎
Through winding creek bottoms and up rocky hills,
We'll gather those cattle with patience and skill.
But there's always one cow with a mind of her own,
Who'd rather head back to the hills she's called home!
🐎
There'll be hollerin' and whoopin', some dust and some sweat,
And a few stubborn cattle we won't soon forget.
Some riders will laugh, and some riders may cuss,
When an old cow decides she's had enough of us!
🐎
But that's why we gather, year after year,
For the horses, the friendships, the memories held dear.
The laughter, the stories, the trails that we ride,
And the good folks who gather here side by side.
🐎
So here's to the cowboys, the young and the old,
To the beautiful Ozarks dressed in autumn gold.
May your horses stay surefooted, your cattle behave,
And nobody end up in the creek needing saved!
🐎
So saddle up, cowboys, there's work to be done,
A day full of memories, hard work, and fun.
From Panther Creek, beneath autumn skies,
Happy Fall Round-Up to all, and to all a good ride! 🤠 🐎 🍁
