One day each fall, rancher Dennis Kamrath and dozens of friends, relatives and volunteers drive his herd from pasture land west of Gary to the family farm in Canby, Minnesota.
The 15-mile (24-kilometer) trek has become a tradition for Gary, population 227, but the 59-year-old rancher says the expense of calving across the border in South Dakota is getting to be too much.
Gary Historical Association President Roger Baer says the drive has blossomed into a tourist draw. He said seeing cattle hustling down a town’s main thoroughfare recalls days gone by. More than a hundred onlookers lined the route Saturday.
