The last fall cows calved and J wanted to go ahead and work them. Grant is in 9th grade, the son of a vet I work with and lives close to the farm where the cows are.
He had helped us earlier at the house with some cows. He shows cattle and is on the livestock judging team and cattle working team. So a perfect person to call on for some help.
Once again, beautiful weather, sunny and in the 60's and dry.
The calves were getting vaccinated, ear tagged and the bulls castrated.
The cow got a bred back vaccine and dewormed.
Grant brought the calves up the chute and held their tails for J to castrate. He did an excellent job, calm and quite, always in the right place.
We were done by lunch. Low stress on the cattle and the owners.
Great to have good local help.
