Kids flying kites at the church picnic in the rain.
One paddock ago
Two paddocks ago
Our new to us 535
Heat checking this morning
The verdict on our new chute is in as well...
Because it is closer to the barn than our old one, I need to move the west side alley in (narrower). I need my sorting pens that we knocked out back in order ASAP when I get construction time. I need to solidify the gate on my bud box (which we knew and have planned for). Double alley is very good, rolling gates are way better than the old post/pipe act, the long alley is better than our old one for vaccinating, and the headgate on the squeeze is FAN-Freaking-Tastic! I have always been a professed self-catch guy, but the headgate with the control at the back of the chute makes me think I may need to find a reason to catch every cow. I even tested it on a horned cow of the neighbour's with grand results (still think I will stick to polled bulls).

) Glad you are happy with new stuff.
