Had a fantastic day today working with the cattle. We branded the fall cattle, vaccinated the cows close to calving, and put in nose rings in the fall bulls. We also spent the morning burning some piles of Honey Locust and wild multiflora rose bushes I killed over the fall!
Clipping the site to brand
Applying the brand
finished product
And putting in nose rings...
Tightening them down
We like to keep the kids involved, so my middle daughter likes to pack some water and help keep the line where it should be...
And one of the heifers we vaccinated today.
Each kid helps, by either clipping, time keeper, or head catch and weight recorder! A fun family day!
