Well today was the day. I guess you could say "what we work for all year long". Actually the calves will sell tomorrow. But we hauled them all today. Three loads. Vaccinated and wormed all the mama's. Had them turned out.....one load hauled, and the other two loads on the way by 9:30 this mornin. Here's a few pictures of the days activities. (Not all are very good quality....it was foggy foggy this mornin, and we were there startin by 6:30 am)
The guys unloadin their mounts.
And their off...
Same picture...cropped and played with in my Photo program.
Me killin time...waitin on them to arrive with the herd.....
The sun finally made an appearance.
A spider web filled with early mornin dew.....didn't seen no bugs. Guess that lil spider had no breakfast.
Here they come...whewwee it's foggy....but the cow bellers and the dawgs barkin...they guys makin that noise they make that encourages the cows to keep movin....it's not a word...haha............are neat sounds that early in the mornin.
My favorite shot of the day.
Mornin glories that have grown on the squeeze chute.
Two bull calves I am keeping. Gonna see how well they grow out as bulls.
PUttin the glue tags on the 2nd load....
My load.....
Oh guess I could get outta the truck and take a better picture than that. LOL
All in all done. Ya know....the flies were horrible today. Two days ago we rode around lookin at them, and made the choice not to spray for flies...because they hardly had any. I don't know if it's because of the rain in the last few days or what...but there were a bazillion flies today when we penned them, and we hadn't bought anything to spray them with.
Spent the rest of the day on the tractor mowin pastures.
