Solving One Problem And Creating Another

We have newish gates at our working pens at BJ's.  The problem with older gates is if water gets in them it can freeze and they bust open. 

To remedy that, the gate makers put in holes at every cross bar and vertical support.  

Well, that just makes a perfect home for bees and wasps to move in. 

J has been stung twice this year and I have gotten stung once.  

Today we remembered the bee spray. 

After a  couple of laps around the field we were successful in getting the cows up.

J sorted out the replacement heifers, first calf heifers and a couple of possible problem cows to put in a field near the barn in case they have any trouble calving.  Then we loaded up 2 open heifers, a cow that lost a calf and a cow with a vaginal prolapse that I stitched last week, and brought all of those to the house.  Fall calving is suppose to start September 1st.
