I've been helping the BTO neighbour the last two days to wean and sort calves. Four of us in rather poor facilities (in my mind) managed to do about 1200 pairs. I think I've done my neighbourly duty and they can make do without me for the rest of it. I'm feeling kind of old tonight :lol:

I should have taken this picture of the cows in panoramic mode, it only takes in a fraction of them. But I thought it made a neat picture with them all facing me.

With 1200 pairs, you should be sorting in a big 100x300' barn with multiple pens, good gravel floor and a fancy Stampede Steel system, and a heated lunch room. If not, I am curious what he spends his money on...

Well, we did process about 600 calves a few days ago through a facility that had the squeeze (hydraulic Silencer) and alley in a heated facility. Didn't help me, I was pushing calves up in the cold.
One thing I have decided is that I'm not interested in becoming a BTO. Small time is good for me.

Great pic! Good bunch of working cows.

You should move down here... I don't need help with cattle, but there's some firewood to be done ;)
 
That is one of the things I really like about this place I now live in, the neighbors. Coming from an area where lots of neighbors don't even talk to each other it was a very good change. here neighbors help with brandings, gatherings, sort and shipping, and even haying if their help is needed.
 
DANG!! You may need new neighbors with a few less cows. 😅🤡 I want to run all their fuzzy heads!!!
So tell us does your neighbor's cows ALL have names?! 😅😂🙋🏾‍♀️

Seems like most of them were called Sweetheart. Some were called "Look out!!"
