Yes, those are baseball caps on those fence posts – about two miles worth. Elsewhere, and for shorter distances, we saw fence posts topped with stones, and fence posts topped with bird houses.
The Bar U ranch is a preserved cattle and horse breeding operation, originally 157,000 acres. There couldn’t have been eight of us visiting this day, and probably twelve or more employees. We got very good attention.
The casting is a copy of a famous Charles Russell painting. Bar U owner George Lane was a larger-than-life character. He had been in Calgary tending his pregnant wife, and on the return trip by horseback came upon a wolf pack attacking his cattle. His response became the basis of the painting and casting.
