Loading ...I had an aunt whose part of the family were cattle ranchers in California, I guess this was in the 40s. I remember her telling us about it. In the summer they’d drive the cattle up into the high country to graze there. When the weather started getting cold they’d take the cattle back down to the lower elevations. When they left the mountains the last rancher out would throw out a match and catch the grass on fire. This was beneficial to the pasture and the grass would be good the next year. I don’t imagine that the potential for a big fire was there since the area was burnt every year. Surprised me when I first heard it though. Times have changed!
