If a ranch did their calving in December, they would all be about this size by now.

Nice pictures, Soapweed.

However, I don't envy you one bit having to run all those cows
through the chute. Nice that you have a good crew.

We quit vaccinating ours that bad spring of 1997.

We were afraid to quit on our own, because of the problems
we had encountered all those years. But that spring storm
made it impossible for us to use our working corrals, so
we didn't get to vaccinate them. We had 00000 problems
and we've never vaccinated since. We do still do the
coming 2-year old heifers and that's it.

Thanks for the pictures Soapweed. Really enjoy seeing the calm looking way you work the livestock and your working facilities. I can't help but notice you get quite a bit of snow down there but seem to melt it off rather quickly, and might have dust in the next set of pictures. Would you say this is a normal winter regarding moisture or below. Our wet months are coming, we hope! EP
