New Year, Same Job

We celebrated the New Year by weaning the calves at our farm up the road.  

Mike was wonderful to come help.  I pretty much just documented the process and was there as backup.

But Joe and Mike had everything under control.  Mike sorted out the cows and Joe shot the dewormer on them as they went though the gate.

Then the cows were turned out and counted.  Joe said we had the right number.

Then the calves were loaded up and brought back to the house.  My one “job” was to keep the calves from trying to go between the gate and trailer.  It didn’t take much, just putting my stick there.  Since Mike was doing such a good job replacing me, I stayed at the house after the first load and let Joe and Mike finish up the next two loads.
