Thanks for the pictures, Justin.

From that many trucks, you must have hauled a lot of cattle
that day.

The calves look good. It appears that your move to summer pasture was a success.

About fifteen years ago, some folks in this area were trucking their cows and calves to summer pasture. A big five-inch rain came up during the process. A couple pot loads of cows got to the pasture, but two stock trailers full of the calves were still at the ranch, stranded away from their mothers. The mud was deep. I don't remember how long it was before the roads were passable again, and the cows could be reunited with their calves.
