We took advantage of a nice warm Sunday afternoon to process some of the bred heifers. New permanent tags were put in, along with corresponding numbered buttons on the other ear. Some of the vaccinations had been given back in September when they were preg checked, but we gave the first Scourgard 4KC shot now and an Alpha 7. They also got "Clean-up," a pour-on insecticide with IGR. The ones in the corral were worked Sunday afternoon, and the ones eating hay were held over and done on Monday.
Sunday afternoon cattle working crew. Since Sunflower had gone skiing with some of her cousins, Peach's nephew volunteered to help. He kept the taggers loaded for me, which sped up the process imensely.
