"Roundup"


1 of 6

Lucky drives to his property he leases from the East Bay Regional Park district, high in the hills above the San Antonio Reservoir. Lucky Gravette, 71 of Livermore, a cattle rancher since the mid 60's, along with help from local ranchers spend the day at a 'branding' of his cattle, high in the hills above the San Antonio Reservoir, near Livermore, Ca.

Every year dozens of local ranchers come together for their annual roundup of their newly arrived cattle. Local ranchers pitch in to help each other out at the more than 30 roundups throughout the Livermore Valley, in Northern California. A look at the vanishing breed of local cowboys as they keep alive an age old tradition.
