Harry on Merle at the weaning pens...
that horse doesn't miss a thing!

Headin' to the pens

It only took about an hour to gather the 70-some fall cows and calves out of the 1/2 mile long 320 acre pasture and trail them to the weaning pens.

< Unloading at the ranch. We also received all our fall ET babies from our coop herds on April 7th. There were 40-some ET calves that arrived for processing and weaning.

Everything went through the chute and received 7-Way, Bovi-Shield GOLD 5, and Dectomax upon arrival at the ranch. When they were pre-conditioned, they received 7-Way and One Shot.

Here is a pair of fancy Simmental heifer
calves that came in from one of our coop herds.

Actual weights on these two heifers on April 7th were: Back heifer tattoo#3455 - 733 lbs.; heifer in foreground tattoo#3451 - 694 lbs.

< This Angus heifer weighed 720 lbs. on April 7th. She was born on September 10, 2003, and weighed in then at 80 lbs. Her pedigree reads like this: GAR Gridmaker x RR Traveler 5204 x Bando 155 x 5522 x 9J9. We think she is one sweet heifer!
