Starting Spring Turnouts

The grass is starting to green up and the hay is getting low so J is starting to get some of the cattle turned out and off the dole.  

We rounded up this little group of 10 cows and 6 calves,

got them down off the hill and switched with the 53 head of yearlings in the background. 

Now the yearlings are off grain and the pasture they were on will have about 10 days to recover before we have to get the goats up to start kidding.  

The next day we worked the 6 calves.  Yes, that is Ralgro J is implanting.  We haven't been able to get it for several years but J found some the other day at Tractor Supply.  

M was helping us so J worked the head gate.  That just left me to preg check the cows. 

And V baby sat with Baby S.  

She loves being outside and around the animals.  Next, M and J loaded the cows and calve up to turn out on some rented land.  One more group to not have to feed.
