The Busted Handle Calf Factory

It's fun to go to the pasture these days and see all the calves running around.  We're nearly finished calving with a current total of 21 and probably 2 more to go.  We have 27 cows and I either know the reason for the other 4 not calving or plan to sell them.  You can see that Amy and I have kept busy tagging and weighing most of them as they were born.  After a while they get suspicious of us calling them to the pen and we have to lay off for a few days.  Our big roundup, vaccinating and finish tagging, and separating into breeding pastures is scheduled for March 19, or sooner if I can get Amy to come home.  You're all invited to come help.  Bring old clothes, you'll get a little western on them.  It's the best time of the year.
