Calving

The cows started calving a few weeks ago.

It has been a really tiring and trying calving season so far!

I am really getting tired of fighting the mud....and my body is feeling the impact of all this mud! Once the cows calve in the lot we have them in, we move the cow/calf onto grass in the pasture (which means having to handle every calf that is born).

Here we are moving a pair to the pasture.






Chad built a calf carrier for the back of the 4-wheeler.
Here is one of the calves on the carrier.





Chad has been stuck 3 times already this year....and I got stuck once.






MUD, MUD....everywhere!


We have about 85 calves so far....almost half done....YEAH!
