Today I turned the heifers out and moved the cows into a new pasture.








The cows enjoying their new pasture. This is the first fall in a few years where the creek has a good stream of water running down it, and the springs are running too :D .


This cow was navigating tornado damage from last spring :shock: . She would do well in trail class :wink: .






After about the third time this cow went down and drooled for hours after being vaccinated in the fall, I clued in that perhaps she was "having a reaction." :wink: I put this blue tag in her ear to remind me NOT to vaccinate her :D .




This is the oldest cow on the place... she was here before I came almost 13 years ago... and she wasn't a heifer back then :D . We've gotten rid of most of our old cows, but she's always been a great producer, and I couldn't part with her. She is the last "original" cow out of the 230 head which were here when I first started this job.


It just wouldn't be fall if we weren't digging up and repairing a water line :D . You wouldn't know that Jim was in the hospital for a week, in bad shape last month. I guess living on this windy, cold rock pile has made him a little tougher than most :D .


For those who asked for an inside shot of my new cottage, here you go. I'm not fully moved in, but with the change in weather coming, I'll start organizing and decorating the inside soon.
