Round Two

Today we worked our keeping heifers. We like to sort our heifers while they are still with mama. It gives us a good idea how baby will turn out. Also you can see mama's temperament, is she nasty and flighty? Don't want the calf. Does she have a good udder, feet, eyes and confirmation. If all that's good and baby is "pretty", I like to keep them.

Today was a good day. The calves were well behaved and the weather was warm with a cool breeze.
Next week we will work all the steers. That'll be a long, LONG day. But, that will be behind us!

Mama's and babies headed to the corral. We will put the ponies away and sort on foot.

 

Curious little creatures. I sat down and the heifers all gathered round me. I dare not move to fast or they will scatter! Its nice that they are so friendly. Hope they stick around here awhile.

 

 

 

 

Come home to a beautiful almost fall sunset. You can see the leaves are starting to change.

And a gorgeous Canna plant with the sun lighting it up. Thank you Linda! I LOVE them! (click on her name and go check out her blog). She has wonderful stories about Life on a Colorado farm with some amazing pictures.

Thanks for stopping by.
