More Cattle Work

It was the fall calves turn today.
Just running through the chute to deworm everyone and vaccinate a few.
Mike came over to help.  I always love help because that makes less for me to do.
Joe pushed them all through the chute.
There were two to dehorn.  We used a horned Hereford bull last year.   We haven’t had any with horns for a few years.  It is not something I look forward to.  But I do everything I can to make it less painful.  I do a lidocaine nerve block and a pain medication injection.  At least it was just two.

 We were done in quick order and everyone got turned back out to graze.

Always nice to get good help. You sure do have nice weather there- as I look out on the traces of our last (hopefully last) spring snow storm.
