Hauling Pairs

With a storm brewing, the boys and I decided to get our next three pairs up to spring pasture. We're starting to get good at this. 

The last three pairs are doing well. You can find them all over this pasture. They graze it like sheep, always on the move.

The next three were branded and ready to load. Clint used the "get big" tactic to make them travel. 

It worked.

We separated the moms and calves.

So we could load the calves first. Different tactic from last time. 

That way, we could kick the moms out first and they are more apt to stay put with a little pressure from Darin and crew. Then kicked the calves out to them. 

Mothered up in no time.

Much better sight than last time. 

Just ranchin. Cows and calves are looking good. Water is holding up as well. With grass growing strong, we are working on a good spring. Pairs do so much better on pasture vs. feed. I don't plan to touch these calves again, except for one more move to Worland, until we wean them in October/November. Until then, we’ll ranch on.
