Busy

I caught Beaver this morning and me and him and Bob and Shadow got all the bovines in the corral. About that time, Delbert showed up, so we put most in the back alley and started putting about 5 or 6 head into the alley leading into the working chute. I’d spray them down with de-licer/de-wormer  and then turn them out and Delbert would open the gate and we’d run some more in, etc. until we got them all done. then we drove over to Punkin Center to eat some lunch. After dinner I went out and caught got back on Beaver, rode up west and got them horses in, then caught Pilgrim and rode up west to check creek crossings and fences. I need to do some work on all of them. Then when I got back I caught Ron and Roz and pulled off their hind shoes. As I was about done, another neighbor from the west of me showed up and we drove out and looked at the cows, as I was pretty sure I had one of his. I do and will return her when it is handy. We also found my red horned cow with twins and two cows of Chances who each had a calf. Guess I should have worked them earlier, if that was all it was going to take to get them going! 😉

So we are offically calving. Not sure yet what I will do with the exrta twin, but Darrel said if I have the luck he has had with them twins they had this year, one would probably die and I wouldn’t need to worry about it!

Don’t tell Cindy! She will want to pull one off and make a dang bucket calf out of it!

All thought, that might not be all bad, if I sent it up to Chance and Hope for them little boys to raise! 🙂

Course then to keep things fair I’d have to send one to Tate and Kass for their boys and I don’t think they are zoned for bucket calves, where they live!!

After I got done feeding I caught up Crackerjack, trimmed his feet and worked with him in the round pen and even rode him around a little. The young man I sent him  to last spring/summer sure got him sacked out good. He never turned a hair!

Sure was a nice day. Got up to 60 or better and we are getting a gentle rain with some thunder.
