We weaned one bunch of calves yesterday. I know, we don't do it the "correct" way. We load them on the truck, I get to listen to cows bawl, and the guys that own the cattle get to watch the calves hit the feed bunk.
Getting them gathered.One of the buses waiting to take the kids home.
Kids waiting to get on the bus
Pushing calves to the chute.
Discussing the calves, and solving the world problems.
The next truck was backed up to the chute, and I had a new riding partner.
The loaders.
Of course it wouldn't be any fun if things went perfect. The last trailer couldn't navigate the sand, so I had to demo my 400 dollar tractor.
Sorry Mike I had to do it.
Other then 1 calf that got left behind do to its ability to use the trees and canyons to its advantage, we sent all the calves home. I've got a picture of the calves eating at the bunk, but I have to figure out how to get it from my phone to the computer.
