Three cowboys drive a small herd of cows and calves to pens on the 15,500 acre Merrill Ranch, 27 miles southeast of Coldwater in Comanche County. The calves, part of a herd of 900 cows and calves on the ranch, were branded and inoculated. The reddish color in the soil is caused by a high content of iron oxide.   1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9  10  11  12  13  14  15
