Weather Move

Joe had planned to move the bred heifers from some rented land 20 minutes away, back to the house Friday. But some unexpected weather brought in some snow which thwarted his plans. Next plan was to move them Monday. But another weather system was on its way. If we didn’t get them out then Joe was going to have to start feeding them there.  That would be an undesirable situation. 

So this morning we headed over to bring them home.  Joe had been feeding them a little grain for a few days to get them use to coming in the lot. He didn’t have any trouble today. I hid in the truck and when he was done he came and got me. 

Next was moving some panels to make a loading area. 

Joe has this part down pat. The heifers were also pretty tame and there wasn’t too much yelling to get them on the trailer. 

Back at the house we just stopped in the road to let them out

and then herded them through the gate. 

They headed on around the hill while we went back for a second load. We finished just in time. It wasn’t long after we got back that it snowed another 3-4 inches.
