A concerned mother of America

Backing away

Just grab the rope and hang on

Newborn baby

Slurp Razz

Two bucks with one bang

The double whammy

Hay, it's okay

Keeping an eye on her youngster

Eye spy

Red in bed

Is the life of a cowgirl really all that glamorous? Confused

Hay waddy at work

Still handling hay at the end of the day

Heifers on hay at the end of the day

when you(i mean Peach Wink ) catches a two 4 one, how do you(her) know which calf belongs to which cow? or does the calf's tag number not match the cow?

i do like your(her) tagging outfit. Very Happy

I can sure sympathize with Peach's hands... tagging can make them chilly and chapped! I've been getting by good using moisturizing hand sanitizer and Nutrogena's unscented hand cream FWIW Very Happy .

She had her eye on the calf that belonged to one cow, and just lucked out by getting both with one shot. Smile The calf's tag number does match the cow's number.

That's easy Justin! Soap (I mean Peach) just tags the black calf with the same number of the black cow. And then Soap (I mean Peach) tags the other black calf with the number of the other black cow. Simple! Wink Very Happy

Soap, (I mean Peach Wink ) on a more serious note, how much snow can that calf catch rig go through before it's time to unhook and just bulldog 'em off the 4 wheeler? Looks like 4-6 inches would stop it, and watch out for any drifts that deep.

MsSage, I'd say there is about 3 inches of snow here and the morning report from Union Center on the radio is 3-4 inches of new snow and still coming down.

Not snowing at the moment here. 10 inches reported in Shannon Co SD.

Soapweed, I always enjoy your photos. Looks like Peach should take her calf catcher to Sparky's shop for a set of skis.

That kind of weather is just not enjoyable at all.

Are you keeping the scours at bay?
