About a month or so before we wean our calves, we pre-condition them. This simply means we vaccinate them. The reason we do this before we wean, is to cause less stress on the calves at weaning time.
We separate them from their moms, run them through a chute and give them two shots. Then they are turned back in with their mommas and go about their day.

The cowboys always start very early in the summer to beat some of the heat. It's a great way to watch the sun rise.
We gather each herd out of the pasture and put them into a corral where they can be sorted.

This is just one of the many jobs the cowboys have been doing this summer. Stay tuned for more summer photos.
