[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1844416, member: 40587"] So, Zeke is fine with all the dairy cows and their calves, except Gail, being gone. And he is tickled that his steer, ZUS, is going to be a rodeo side show star. He has 3 litters of our puppies to play with, plus, he has 4 bantams in a coop sitting on quail eggs, and they will hatch soon, and he is excited about that. Got 2 game hens laying in the horse barn, too, and he and Scott put pheasant eggs under them this weekend. Lisa and Joe came by Saturday, and she checked Gail, and is going to AI her tomorrow. They were going to ride down and check on their calves they have on Scott's row crop fields, and asked Scott and Zeke to ride with them, so they saddled up and went too. On the way back, they all rode across to the Kunze field, and rounded everything up and drove them to the corral. Zeke did a good job with that. They cut out and tagged and banded the February calves.. Joe heeled and Lisa tagged and banded, All Scot had to do was ride cut-back to keep the mommas away, and Zeke would lay across the calves while Lisa worked them. I didn't have to go down there, for once, so I was glad about that. The man that bought my Plummers is bringing that MFB to put in with them Saturday week. I have 3 of the Corrs that I bought back also in there with them., They were 1/2 MFBs, and there is one 3/4 MFB heifer that is 14 months old this month, and I got her in there too. The heifers they have, we will keep them, and if they have steers I will bring them up here to rope. The man said if the 3/4 MFB has a bull calf, to leave it intact and he would buy it.
