Cows have worked over this weed bale quite well.
Here is another one that was placed on sandy ground.

Palaver in the pasture
One on the ground and one foot back
I even ended up down alongside. We both took turns pushing the head back in and trying to get the foot out.
Our community effort paid off, and we retrieved a nice live calf.
For the first time all calving season, I assisted on a pull job. Amazingly enough, I still remembered how.
At least I look taller and more slender in this picture

Replacement yearling heifers at their winter quarters. I am very happy with the care they are receiving.

Sorters of cattle
Moo moocher. I don't recommend making a pet out of a cow. They can be a nuisance, and they have a way of scaring you
at inappropriate times.
Sparky and a friend
Sparky runs his welding shop, and the other young man has a 72 foot sailboat in the Virgin Islands. He and his wife
and one or two other crew members take out eight or ten tourists at a time, for a week or so at a time on a mini-cruise
around the islands. This is a slow season in that line of work, so he is helping his dad with calving for a few weeks.
Two year old open heifers, bred to start calving August 15th
They will probably be for sale in June.
