More cow work.

[gcreekrch]

Sorted last bunch for feeding groups, gave heifers their first scour shots and poured their group with Ivomec.

 

[gcreekrch]

Not sure why the photos are doubling up.

Why Ivomec out of curiosity? Lice? Can they pick up internal parasites when the ground is frozen?

Ivomec them now and they are parasite free until the snow melts and they pick up the next round of parasites.

Got busy again today besides chores, a little sorting and Ivomec on 100 young cows and 100 heifers calves at home. 275 cows left to do at Morrison Meadow in next day or three. Unloaded hay truck twice and chores in between. 550 bales we purchased from neighbors are all here now. Was an awesome sunny day!


For general interest, this group of heifers came from the Gang Ranch, owned by Douglas Lake Cattle Company now

 

[gcreekrch]

Forgot to add we bedded pens too.

Beautiful country you have there.

I see a dog following the heifers down the lane. Where is Oscar when there is work to be done?

Do you give 2 rounds and an annual booster? We have never done the booster deal. How many weeks prior to calving do you give the scourguard?

Heifers and any new cows get two shots first year. We give annual booster about 2 weeks pre calving.

He was on morning shift and played out sleeping in the house.

He is so far out in the bush that he drives toward town to go hunting.

Chaps are pronounced "shaps" and chinks pronounced just like it's spelled. I have a pair of chinks and wear them on long rides or when a little wind protection is necessary and at rope and drag brandings. We don't have much brush here, so a full length pair of chaps aren't necessary. Chinks are lighter in weight since they only cover to around the knee.
