Gizmom - you captured some great shots. People that have not had "picture day" cannot understand the pressure that day brings!!
We did our's a week ago. We had already cancelled once because it rained all day. The next day was a good day, but the photographer and us had to go to a Celebration of Life. Sooo, postponed to the next day. Froze our hiney's off. 28F with gusts of wind wanting to blow you over. Few snow flurries, couple glimpses of sunshine.
Looks like you had a good day and some great help. Few pics you posted of cattle look awesome. Of course, you have great cows - they always look good. But, trying to get "that shot" is soooo time consuming. When we were finished, I said "I am whipped - I feel OLD for the first time in my life!"
