Bull day on a progressive ranch
330 bull calves and their mothers were corralled and the cows sorted away from the calves.
A good crew was on hand
The sorting system
Several pens were available for different sire groups.
Culls were sent all the way down the alley.
Nice half brothers in each pen
Lots of beef on the hoof
These bulls have a lot of thickness and capacity

Without the flash
If this old barn could talk, it could probably tell some good stories.

The secretarial staff
The bulls that didn't get picked today were sold and hauled off to a reputation seedstock operation that will winter these bulls and rent them out next spring.
These cows are missing their baby boys.
I had an interesting day, and got to pick out some bulls that should be worthy consorts for our cows next summer.
