Everybody here probably knows we brought home young heifers this weekend (3). We've moved the butcher steers to another lot, secure, and they can't escape regardless of the excitement nearby (I'm pretty sure). New 5-6 month heifers have been in a dry lot w/ shelter since Sunday, which our cows/other young heifers and one small steer have been locked out of for a few days (6 in that bunch). We're starting to get the drizzly, cool weather, so I want to open up the gate between the pasture (15 acres), and dry lot (60 X 100) with shelter (16 X 30). We feed out in the dry lot, not in the shelter. I think they'll be fine, with plenty of room to sort it out. The big girls don't pick on little ones -- they just don't let them get very friendly. :2cents: ?
