This place never really needs a full time hand, most the time one person can keep it running., the modern hay equipment, the head gates and ditches, my alley way and corrals. There are always a few jobs that need help or go faster with help fencing, moving cows, branding. No rope and drag usually 3 of us and a calf table. Well my youngest is in Costa Rica on a LDS mission. My hand, my daughter is home from college and is leaving her horse and all the work I had planned for her too run off to Montana to work close to where her Boy Friend is. He oldest who was a good hand is on the other side of the Veil.
Just trying to find a high school kid to push calves into a chute is impossible today years ago we had so many show up they wrestle calves, and the be so many ready it was hard to keep the irons hot and a cutting knife sharp. There guys that will come and rope and drag, but we set up easier to use the chute and table as the cows need worked too. Sue and I done it before guess she take a day off work and we’ll do it again.
