This involved getting 100 calves up, through the chute one at a time, giving 2 vaccinations, and tagging with an EID (electronic identification) tag. 
I had to keep up with the EID tags, record the number and the corresponding calf ear tag.
This is all for the age and source verification program so we get a premium at slaughter.
It's a good thing the score board doesn't show up here well enough to read. Suffice it to say, it's a good thing we even made it into double digits.
J has borrowed a 250 gallon water tank that fits in the back of the pick-up truck to start hauling water to fill the 500+ gallon tire troughs up.
We vaccinated and dewormed the cows,
vaccinated,
implanted,
and castrated the calves.
With V and E's help, we worked 46 cows/heifers, and 35 calves in 3 hours.
At least the girls, plus friend J, were able to enjoy the sleds they got for Christmas last year and never got to use.
The wind is supposed to pick up to >20 mph. I'm glad J has gotten a lot of wood.
I guess it's time to do away with the pumpkins and start on Christmas.
I forgot to take her in yesterday for a bath so I sprayed her with doggy cologne, brushed her well and took hand sanitiser for any of the kids that petted her to use. Of course all 100+ students petted, hugged, and rolled on the floor with her. The nurse sharing the same room requested she not be in with the dog next year because her plastic baby doll wasn't getting the same attention.
By 8:30 they decided to cancel school. Of coarse this was the time that it stopped snowing.
