Unloading yearling heifers on May 15th

This Arrow brand portable loading chute works well for jobs like this. It adjusts high for trucks and low for stock trailers.

Sad day at play in the month of May

Life seems to be tough

These coats are heavy. Spring should bring warm weather.

Pushing snowballs through tall green grass is hard work.

Former enemies seem to now be friends.

Turning bulls out with cows on May 22nd

Things are looking good in 2915 ! I wouldn't even know where to begin making a weather vane like that, either.

Is it my imagination or are the bulls going out a bit later/

Thanks again.

The fickle finger of fate and my lack of proof-reading combined to kick this ahead by 900 years. I am just not that good at predicting, so these pictures are of the here and now.

Is it my imagination or are the bulls going out a bit later/

Thanks again.

Last year, the bulls went out with yearling heifers on May 16th and with the cows a week later, on May 23. This year, we turned bulls with the heifers on May 18th and with the cows on May 22nd, so they are about the same.
