90 Worked

 I think our calves may finally be straighten out from weaning and moving.  Yesterday, E came home to help up round them all up, sort and vaccinate.
The rounding up proved a little frustrating.  Because they are already used to being fed it ended up that they towed better than herded.
 E was the Pied Piper of this group.
 J then took over with the tractor and a bale of hay.
 And E went after the stragglers.
 Finally, everyone was in the lot ready for the sorting.
 I don't think this is E's most favorite thing to be doing on a Saturday.
 J made his decisions, sorting out the replacement heifers and the smaller end of the calves. 
 That left a load of 90 head to catch and vaccinate.  E did the catching, and a fine job at that.
 And J did the pushing into the chute.
That left me to count and give the 3 vaccines (7-way clostridial, 5-way respiratory, and Pasteurella Multocida/Mannheimia Haemolytica) .  Now a few more weeks before they head out west.

  1. A job well done! It's been said already... "please don't take anything I say while moving heifers/working cattle seriously!" Oh my. I won't miss that!
