Last week I told a neighbor that I wasn't doing much and offered to help him when I could. He asked if I could haul some calves when they weaned. So yesterday was the day. He gave me directions to the trap and asked me to show up at 10:30. I got there the trap was full of cattle and they had just finished loading the third gooseneck. I backed in and got loaded them all four of us headed down to one of his hay farms where there is a set of corrals and working pens. I ended up hauling 5 loads a 20 to 22 calves per load. All together there was 16 trailer loads of calves. I am guess 320-340 calves. Some nice big soggy calves. The cows are primarily black but I saw at least one of most every other breed. Sorry to you Brimmer pimps but I didn't see a single eared cow among them. He appears to have more Charolais bulls than anything else but there were some Angus and one horned Hereford. Those Char cross calves are really going to mash down the scale. I hauled one load that seemed to be 22 of the biggest of those calves. It felt like I was pulling the plug out of the bottom of the ocean.
