We worked our weaned fall heifers this morning before they went out to grass.
My eleven year old daughter ran the manual head gate and my seven (he'll be eight May 1st) year old son gave each hfr two of their four vaccinations. He needed two hands to run my Alflex 25ml pistol grips, but he got it done.
What a great morning! I'm so proud of them and they are super excited to work cattle again. There'll be 120hd of spring calves to run through the chute in June. They can't wait.
Maybe that's one good thing coming out of this Covid thing; kids get to spend extra time with parents and learn some hands on life skills.
