Riding out to wean some calves

Kosmo opening a gate

To let his old folks through

And then he shuts the gate

This takes a quiet horse.

His mom was in awe, and his dad says, "Aw....." :wink:

Assembling the herd

Putting them into an enclosure

Gently persuading

Peach on her paint; my sister came along on a Polaris and brought some sorting sticks.

Kosmo and I letting cows out

They were eager to go out on fresh meadow grass.

Pushing the cows home

They haven't really missed their calves yet.

Around an obstacle

And through a gate

Everything is working fine.

Into the home corral, where several bale rings are loaded with hay. The cows are locked up about a mile away from where
they last saw their calves.

Other spectators look on with interest.

The heifer calves back where we sorted. They have access to pretty good fresh grass. I also rolled out one bale of alfalfa
and one bale of nice meadow hay. There is music in the air tonight--what could be considered as a bovine ballad.
