Vaccinating cows with Scourgard 4KC

Another day of vaccinating cows

Next day, same time different station

My dad showed up to check on our progress. We did do pretty good, running 244 cows through in an hour and a half.

The gang is all here.

Happy little family

My mule and me trying to sort out the ones that will calve in the immediate future. The sorting is easy; picking the right cows is the hard part.

Thank you, kind sir. I will raise my cup to that.

We did get a couple or three inches of snow today, which settled the dust and made the air smell fresh.

Must have been the same storm we got :wink: ..... on top of 18 inches accumulation.

Lovely photos Soapweed. The cows are looking very well. Are you having a easy year calving . Must be nicer without the snow or are you concerned about water for the land. PS. Kosmo kid looks better without the meg.

Thans for the pics, Pard.

Tell Kosmo he looks alot better since he dropped the Amish kid missionary look and found his razor and soap. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hey Soap, when is Goose going to foal? :wink:

Cool pictures. Made me feel better, when I seen where you had a hole in the fence and used a panel to cover it. I d that all the time and always look to you to have everything top notch, so if you do it, it make me feel better about myself.

And tell Kosmo, he will be the cause of the next storm. Shaving your beard off in blizzard country, this time of the year, what was he thinking? :???:

Looks like things are ready to pop.

How do you like that continuous fence you put up?
