Saturday was the day to seperate out heifers to wean off and take over to a different place. Got everyone caught up, sorted, and hauled but one. This calf hasn't come close to the portable pens in 3 months, has a flight zone 100yds every direction, and is just a regular pia. So Sunday I took hay out to them, and put it in the pens. She wanted to go in but didnt want to get to close.
With dead eye still learnin how to move cows its been a bit of a challenge moving them and handling them but he's getting it. And with that heifer wanting to cooperate a little, he did real good and we got her caught up. By this time it was dark, so we ran home, got the trailer and went back. But as flighty as she is she didnt want even get close to the alley to the trailer. So, I roped her up in the darkness, and we pulled her into the trailer. Ran her the 20 minutes over to the other property and deployed her in the dark. It was 9 before we got back to eat supper.
But it was all worth it when dead eye looked at me, square in the eye, and said " I'm starting to get it huh dad"
Course the rest of the night he was all Punky and kept callin himself
"Big man" :lol2: i learned a few things last night too
