Working Cows one last time for 2009

Well Saturday they worked the last of the cattle which averaged out to be 204 head anyway that was the count Bob had (for Saturday they worked the others during spring break). They finished up Papa's and they did ours. That is one thing that is easing everyone mind right now we are so glad to have it all done.





First we get the cattle up and sort them from calves to babies these here is our cows they got done with Papa's around 4:00 then came and started on ours. Then after they are sorted we haul the animals to my Grandparents house to work them since we do not have a squeeze chute.

Chief found some dunk and was throwing it around he was helping me run cattle in the chute. The things I let my child do I know.



This is one of Jon's cousins putting ear tags in the cows ears these are fly ear tags and this will help keep face flies off of them we put one in each ear.




This was the bull he was not being to nice about it so it took all of them.





Bob put ear 2 ear tags in each calf while the rest were giving the shots and putting on the wormer. His hands were so sore Saturday night and Sunday. But He figured out he did around 80 head so I figure they were sore.






Chief and Dutches got tired and went to see Great Grandma and Grandpa for a pick me up of candy and pop they know where to go for the good stuff.
