"My DH and I share most of the chores and jobs around the farm. He does most of the mechanical work, I do all of the bookwork and paperwork. But other than that it is pretty equal. I run the baler or swather, do as much as he does at calving time,…"

Branding

Posted on May 5, 2009 at 5:00pm 2 Comments

We branded the calves last Monday. Here are some pictures of the process. Calves got a brand, vaccinated with an 8-way and a shot of ivermectin. We also ran the cows through and vaccinated them.



Early on, lots of calves waiting to go through.



Poor baby, thankfully it only takes a few seconds and we are done. The calves are filling the chute up pretty good already.

Working The Stockyards

Posted on April 20, 2009 at 9:03pm 5 Comments

In addition to our own operation, I also work part time/casual at the local stockyards. This sale was held April 3rd. There was approximately 2500 head in for it, they were all yearlings of various shapes and sizes. Sales here are Presorted or Graded, which means that when an owner brings cattle in be it one or many they are sorted into groups of like size, color and sex.

Im going to ask a dumb question... Can you make a living on 100-150 head in those parts? What type of live calf percetage do you get from cow exposed to the bulls?

I always like processing calves and cows and sending them off to "summer camp". Its a releif to get them out of the lots and they kick up thr heals all the way to green grass. How many head does your family run?
