We shipped the calves today. Well the bigger share of them anyway. Still a fair amount bawling in the corral across from their mothers. We preg check tomorrow.

Fall fun
I went with my neighbor to the west, up north to his brothers place to help them ship their calves. Got them gathered and sorted and then hauled the heifer calves up to the headquarters. The rest of the crew was gathering the big bunch and we didn’t help them. Then after unloading the horseContinue reading “Fall fun”
