The Cows Came Home
Yes, the cows came home!
They had a little encouragement, with me honking (calling) them in the Jeep & leading the way. Beau & Chilli (the dog) followed and brought up the stragglers. They followed me the mile to the corral nicely.
We held them in a portable corral while we sorted & hauled them the 7 miles home.
Once we had them in the corrals at home, we sorted the spring calves off and weaned them.
The late fall pairs will be sorted off tomorrow and turned out on grass with Lenny (the bull). He'll be happy to have a couple more girlfriends for a while & it will keep him busy and out on pasture.
Next week we'll take all the spring calving cows to some rented corn stalks for a couple of months.
I hope y'all had a great weekend. We did! It might be work, but we enjoy working with our family!
Beef goes to town next tuesday, if you would like any fresh beef, drop me a line & I'll you know what we have available.
Merry Christmas!
