Horseback riders marching cattle through Gary

GARY, S.D. (AP) — Horseback riders will be driving hundreds of cows and calves through the northeastern South Dakota town of Gary Saturday morning as part of the town's annual cattle drive.

On a select fall day for each of the past 32 years, rancher Dennis Kamrath and dozens of friends, relatives and volunteers have driven his herd from pasture land about 7½ miles west of Gary to the Kamrath home in Canby, Minn.

The annual 15-mile trek has become a Gary tradition, with a mid-drive fundraiser lunch benefitting the town's historical association.

But the 59-year-old rancher says Saturday's installment might be his last, as the expense of calving across the border in South Dakota is getting too much.
