Yesterday we trailed our first bunch of weaned heifers a couple miles to a different meadow, to free up the first one for the next bunch. We then gathered and trailed the next bunch up close to the corrals and left them in a small fresh meadow to mother up and enjoy life long enough for us to go to town and eat dinner at the cafe. When we got back, we corraled the pairs and separated the cows from the calves. The cows we turned south of the corrals to a small lot where we had several bale rings filled with hay. The calves we put north around on the other side of the barn,into another small lot that was fresh and different from the one where we weaned the last bunch. Two feeders were filled with hay bales, and four bales were fed out in windrows with the hay processor. There was lots of music for Saddletramp and his bride, and tonight will probably sound the same.
