And They're Gone

A load of our Spring calves got sent off to the feedlot this morning. 

They have been hanging out in the field behind the house since weaning.  December 31 was a foggy morning. 

And today was a frosty morning.  

That actually worked out well because the ground was frozen and there were no problems with trucks and trailers getting stuck in the mud.  

I just had to help briefly getting them up this morning before work.  J had 3 other drivers lined up to help haul the calves to the neighboring farm that has a set of scales and an area large enough to load a tractor trailer out of.

J said everything went off without a hitch.  The truck driver said he expects to make it to Nebraska by 3 am.  Hopefully, we get a call in the morning that they get there ok.  90 less head for J to feed here.
