SLOW GOIN'

We are in the middle of calving our heifers.  After the babies are a couple of days old we take them and their mommas to a separate pasture.  This helps keep the moms from getting confused.  It is a slow process getting the little ones anywhere.

It takes some patience from the cowboys and their horses.

Sometimes the babies require a little personal attention.

We have some pretty great cowboys and cowgirls.  
This cow couldn't have her calf without a little help.  This is a series of pictures I took of Dave corralling the cow so we could help her.
It takes  a good horse,  a quick mind and quicker feet.

We have about 100+ heifers calved, only about 170 or so to go.   See you soon.

Slow goin for sure but they are so dang cute, really enjoyed the pics. Yes lots of good help, men and women, no discrimination there! Glad all went well, and weather is working for you instead of against you. Loved the series of shots, that was good, told the entire story. Thanks so much for doing this.
