I spent the day helping haul, sort, and brand inspect several loads of calves that were weighed up at one of the local feedlots- before they were loaded for trips to Des Moines and West Point Nebraska....Remembered to take the camera and snapped a few pictures when I had the time- altho the place was kind of a zoo with semi loads of cattle coming and going...Some nice calves- one bunch of Feb steers averaged 640- and my old partner- who runs right up the creek - March steers averaged 685....
Jeri-One of the ranchers selling loading the scale....
Smile Jeri- the calves in the back are ones already worked and weighed...I'd inspect and count them on and off the scale- and they don't go back into the worked pen until we all agree on count...
Some of the pens of cattle left to be worked- and still more being hauled in...
The Big Boss- Mom, showed up with the Little Boss Jack who let Dad know he was ready to go to work...
Jack taking a couple back to the sick pen...
Dad-Dad- did you see me whip up those cows? What can I chase now? Dad- I'm ready to take over the job buying calves....
