Work for the day

[tncattle]

Here is the list of what we did today, I'm really getting some good hands on experience. We did this to heifers and bull calfs:

1. Tatooed ears on ones that needed it
2. Wormed
3. Ear tags
4. Vaccinated with 3 different vaccines. I'm not realy sure what these were.
5. Measured scrotum size on bulls
6. Measured shoulder height(I think I'm saying that right)
7. Weighed all of them
8. Doctored a few warts on some faces
9. Almost got kicked about 10 times
10. Picked out one good looking heifer to show at some local fairs.

We did 48 heifer and bull calfs. Oh yeah, got kind of charged by one of the young bull calfs(about a 600 pounder) I just got oout of the way in time and he hit his face/nose on a post pretty good and then left me alone.

O.K. now I know where it is. I live 15 miles west of Nashville. I'm in Davidson county just barely. All the work I do with the cattleman I help is in Cheatham and Montgomery Co.

Let me clarify, we obviously didn't measure the heifers :lol: And most of the kicking came whem I was pushing them through the shoot. Actually the bulls were better behaved than the heifers. It seems his bulls are calmer than the heifers overall. But there were some bulls that weren't to happy about getting the scrotums measured, can't say I blame them. We are going to be castrating some at the end of the month. I got a pretty good feeling that they won't like that too much :shock:
