Flushing

[gizmom]

We are getting two cows ready to flush. The time change has us a bit fouled up daylight savings time starts tonight so we started giving shots at 8:30 a.m. and p.m. tomorrow morning we change to 7:30 am and pm. The main farm is about 8 miles from the home place so the worst part is having to drive over at 8 after we get all relaxed for the evening. But sometimes we get to see something that makes it kinda cool.



This guy was sitting on the post when we pulled into the working area.

Edited to add yes bungee straps work great for quick gate repair!

Worse thing I see driving at night is the deer. Our daughter totaled another car her third on deer alone. I'll never figure out how deer keep running into the front of her car.

Gonna have to buy her a used Crown Vic police cruiser with a ranch hand on the front!

Her mom let's her sport around in her car at night but she's not driving my truck around after dark. She was driving the old farm truck till the Eastman cop pulled her over. She even learned how to switch the tanks from oil to fuel to save gas money.

Good Luck with your flushing.

Jacob should be home from his hunting trip tomorrow so he can take over the night time shots..hopefully we will have good results. Last time I went in with very low expectations. I ended up being pleasantly surprised we got 9 out of our SAV Blackbird 9057 cow and 9 out of our Blackcap May 0524 cow. We never saw a good heat on either of them and it was so hot I just thought it was going to go really bad. This time since the weather has cooled off a bit I have a glimmer of hope on this one, we will find out on the 9th. Last time we flushed 9057 to SAV Renown 3439 and 0524 to Coleman Charlo. This time 9057 will be flushed to Rainfall and 0524 to SAV Reign. We will flush both again on January 5th that flush we will flush 9057 to Coleman Bravo and I am going to flush 0524 to SAV Extension. Jscunn if you get a chance I would love for you to swing by and give me your thoughts on the Abundance, Absolute and Reign calves we have on the ground. I confess I think they are the best we have raised.
