We got 140 pairs worked on Thursday and another 225 yesterday. Great crew came to help. We weaned calves and gave the cows their prebreeding shot in the AM and branded calves in the afternoon. Two pushing calves to the table, one brander, one giving two vaccines, one putting in RFID tags and me doing Draxxin, implanting and burning the odd set of horns off. The father in law of one neighbor sat in their rig and timed us. At supper he said we averaged a calf every 48 seconds.
125 in the heifer bunch to do later this week, then 50ish later calves and then little bunches of 10s till we are done.
Our son will be here with his liner tomorrow and we will vaccinate yearling heifers and haul them to grass.
