Another "What is it?" Question

[Turn N Burn]

At one of these little auctions we frequent, my mother came across a used Circle Y cutting saddle. Bought it for super cheap, changed the stirrups, and I am in love with it! All I have ridden is barrel saddles but I love this thing

Anyway, it came with what I call a "counter" on it. Its about 6 inches long by about 1.5 inches wide with the numbers 0 to 9 on it followed by a little blue slider to move left or right. It is engraved with the initials LH on the right side and is stamped by "Paul Long Kerrville, TX". I googled that and all I could find was knife sheaths. So I'm just wondering what you guys think (know) that it is. I will upload a picture tomorrow if I remember!
Have a great day!
Jess

Haven't found out anything on Paul Long yet. You said that that was a circle y saddle. That sounds like a saddle from the YO ranch here. Their brand is a Y on top of an O. It has been owned by the Schriner family for about 150 years.

[Turn N Burn]

Yes it is a Circle Y. I haven't seen YO on it anywhere but I can check when I go outside. The only thing I have found is that LH on the object in question.

That's a cattle counter. It's used for sorting and penning - events where cattle are tagged with numbers. Useful for keeping track of which cattle have already been drawn so you have some idea of which you might draw.

Thanks so much! Something along the lines of what I thought lol
