It was time to bring the cows in so we can keep an eye on them as they calve. Of course we chose a super windy day, but we’re glad it’s done. Good to have them corralled.
For this job, I got my buddy Pete Dube to lend a hand. Alls well that ends well.
They are pretty good about following the feed truck, but still needed some additional pressure to get them through the gate.
Once in the big corral, we pinned them up so we could pour them.
Ivermectin should take care of any lice and such. They’ve been getting a bit blotchy.
One at a time, we ran them through the chute.
I’d bring them to Pete, and he’d crowd them to the head-catch.
Most of them we went ahead and caught so they’d sit still.
While we poured them.
Then we loaded up the feeder with our new old hay.
We looked the cows over before we kicked them out. 71 will be in a week or so.
Should be good.
At least they’ll have a nice view from down here. Hopefully in a month the majority will be over. Only one way to find out. Let’s ranch.
