Banded at birth, they are all the same. We had no horns to burn off in this bunch either and that saves a lot of time. Burning horns off takes another 90 seconds.

Just one, wire brush every calf. No waiting like the old days with wood and then propane. No roaring in the ears or needing to add fuel.

Good heifers Silver, we are doing nearly the same thing with feeding.

Mostly for a joke but my back was bothering me yesterday and it was a change of position. Don’t worry Dave, I get a lot more done in a day than most.

Vision 8S, Bovishield Gold One Shot, a Draxxin to keep them alive until vaccines kick in, rfid tag and a brand. Average a calf every 40 seconds.

I would only have to do that one winter here and I would be completely destocked…..

You didn’t buy enough calves.

Next thing, you’ll be complaining about a tax problem.

Yes, build right and stout the first time. Cheaper and safer in the long run. Thinking two round trips of 300 miles for six calves. Just the fuel on one trip and the price of a cheap gate would have bought you a good gate to begin with.

Cows look dam good on an expensive, short of hay year Silver. Thinking it will pay back big time.

Only half of this bunch had made the trip before. It’s only about 8 km.

Glad we only hay once and don’t need fertilizer.

That is stockpiled irrigation.

First bunch home for calving. We had them outnumbered.

Correct, unless you are buying this so called replacement the same day you wean her 700 lb calf and sell it. Most people buy their replacements bred and still have a year to pay day.

Of course, they were heavier and 12 cents closer to feedlot alley. Kind of a no brainer.

And doing it again.

Yes, they are.
