Over the last two weeks we have been having semis in and out of the yard picking up and dropping off cattle. Â Cattle movement goes in spurts like that. Â One month it will be crazy busy moving cattle and the next no semis at all. Â The latest trucks were bringing in 500 pound calves.
Hubby’s boss was gone and the calves needed checking so Hubby recruited me. Â We found three that needed to be treated. Â After a little rounding up and some medicine administered, they should be in good shape in a day or two.
While I was out I took time to check out the calves from the summer. Â Here’s how big they were on June 14th from this blog post.
Now they have grown LOTS. Â Here they are eating lunch.
I looked and looked to find my favorite steer.
He’s the one looking at the camera in the back. Â These guys look grubby now. Â They are all putting on their winter coat of fur and they always look a little rough then. It’s hard to believe that they can grow so fast!
He’s a cuttie, looks like he knealt down and got his stockings dirty.
Looks like you’re still keeping busy!
