I've been to the stock barn in Herreid, are these photos from that area? Grass and cattle look good. Fine looking cattle going through the sale the day I was there. I like the fact they take great care to identify the producer for most groups. Still a people business as well as a cattle business. Jim

I have got to ask what is the nordfork?
Also it seems there is no shade for the cows. How do they handle that or is there some trees we do not see?

Nordfork device is the double tuning fork shaped hinged contraption that BRG's dad is holding. As the heeler drags the calf by the Nordfork is placed over the neck and settles just behind the ears and the jaw of the calf once the calf is stretched out, and essentially holds the head of the calf while the heeler keeps the heels. The one end of the nordfork is attached with a piece of rope to an old inner tube that is tied to a stake in the ground for the anchor.
I don't know if that description makes any sense, hopefully it helps.
