Vaccinating and tagging replacement bred heifers

An Englishman and an Eskimo

The Eskimo

The whole family

Proud grandma

Excited to hear the feed pickup

Ready to Scourgard some older cows

The weather is great for the job, with temperatures above freezing.

But Sunflower is decked out in warm duds, nonetheless.

Go in easy, girls.

Youngster on a hayride

Enjoying the fresh air of the great outdoors

Gathering twine

Proud aunt

Pacifiers in progress. They save a lot of wear and tear on thumbs.

A grandpa busting his buttons with pride.

Sunset over the Sandhills

This ain't no paint-by-number.

Soaking up some more color

Refllections in the ice which covers the lake

One more

Vaccinating again today

Good crew on hand

Even though half of this partnership is sleeping on the job

I guess it's getting to close to calving to ask for snow for you folks. Have you gotten a foot over the winter yet?

Thanks for your photos, Debbie says you need to train me how to keep the colours in the camera.

some wiskers would help with those red cheeks

Some awesome shots there, Soap!

Loved the 'eskimo' comment. He's sure a cutie and I think he was pretty
interested in what was going on.

Do those babies ever offer you their pacifier??? :lol: :lol: :lol:

No wonder your wife had carpal tunnel!!!

Those plungers are hard on the hands

We have had a total of about sixteen inches of snow so far this winter. The roads and corrals are actually a bit on the muddy side. I like it.

Those red cheeks are caused by the camera getting on the wrong setting. It was on "Vivid," which made colorful sunsets but distorted the other photos. :wink:

They are pretty protective of their pacifiers. Once in a while, I take them out of the kids' mouths so I can see what the kids really look like. :wink: Then when I give them back, I turn them upside down. It takes only a moment for the grandkids to flip the pacifiers back over.

Unfortunately, to get vaccinations into an animal, someone has to squeeze the trigger on vaccine guns. Peach is trained as a registered nurse, and ever since we've been married (going back to June of 1979), she has been officially in charge of our bovine vaccination program. She is also much more adept and twice as fast as any of the rest of us when it comes to administering these vaccinations.

Some people have carpal tunnel problems from playing with the mouse on a computer. It is an occupational hazard for people in all walks of life who use their hands in repetitive fashion.

Carpool tunnel can happen to anyone, and possibly even to commuters who carpool and drive through tunnels on their way to work. :wink:

That button busting comment made me laugh out loud!! Looks like things are getting busy around your place.

I wish my wife would believe that my buttons were busting for the same reason...maybe then I would be on such a crappy diet!

Great pictures as usual!
