So today I’ve been kinda busy… Sorry for not updating sooner.
The morning wasn’t very exciting. Went out tagging, and tagged 19 CALVES!!! That’s a whole lot for one morning… Out in the cows, it seemed like they were everywhere! We just couldn’t get away from them. Anyway, back to the day’s events. We also chased a coyote on the quad today! Same coyote every day… In the same field, doing the same thing. He’s really annoying, and it’s like he’s everywhere, weird…
We did sorting today. Cuz we always do sorting on Fridays. It went well, other then the fact dad says “Let them out single file so they get used to it.” And I do, buuuutttt they don’t always want to play the game my way, so today 4 cows ran through the gate at once, making my almost twist my ankle AND getting cow crap on my lip, glasses, and clothes! Pretty much everywhere you can think of… Dad and Jordan also pulled a calf today, like 10 minutes ago actually. This heifer had been calving since 9:30 this morning and had only gotten the 2 front feet (Thank God) and the tongue out, Dad decided that was quit long enough and pulled it out. (With Jordan’s help of course) And Dad used the handy dandy new calf puller he made with parts Cam gave him! It’s some kinda pulley system? He says it’s better then the others cuz something called “The dogs” where’s out in the others, but that won’t happen to this one cuz it’s more of a pulley/winch operation. And so, I am going to post pictures of the old calf puller, and some of the new. To show how Cam’s parts, helped save 4 calves lives so far…
