Today we preg tested and shipped some dry yrlngs. Pretty successful day, nobody got hurt in the slightly less than 4 hrs it took to run through about 430 head. Day like today you sure appreciate good neighbours as they were out in force to lend a helping hand. Two more neighbours to do this week and we'll all be done. :D
.....And tired.

You preg tested 430 head in less than 4 hours?

MAN! You guys were SMOKIN!

Good job! Did you ship the OPENS too?
 
Yikes... Our preg checking speed is a lot slower than that... A lot...I don't even want to think how long it is going to take the 360 we have to get done this year done.. I don't think it will be measured in hours by the way...I guess our preg checkers are slow...
 
Good work, Silver.

I think we are a bit slower because we give shots, vaccinate, check teeth, replace ear tags and cut off any malformed horns that show up. We do about half of our herd each day. Preg checker is plenty fast, the cowboys are getting old!!!
 
FH, I heard your vet PT'd 800 cows in 5 hours, at a neighbors the other day. :shock: They ran them through a Daniels portable alley, set up to their permenent corrals.

Then he left there and headed to another ranch to test more cows. He must think he has to make his fortune all at one time. :wink:

Actually we did ship the opens as well, tagged all the drys and culls with CCIA buttons and gave Ivomec and a scours vaccine to the wets. Didn't have to mess with horns though, thank the lord!
Our vet checks between 2 and 3 cows a minute and it matters not if they are head caught or not. We tested 130 yrlngs though, and they slow up production pretty dramaticly.
