Heifer Time

Posted on July 1, 2023

An early morning gather with the entire crew minus Megan who is off at a wedding. Victoria and her three boys, Daniel and Tess with their three, Brandon with his two, Vernon and L. on their four wheelers and me in my Japanese mini truck.

These are our heifers that we were AI-ing a month ago. Now they are ready for their pregnancy test.

After the ride, we began to run them through the chute and take a blood sample which we send off to a lab. We will get the results in good time. Then we can begin to decide which ones we are keeping to calve out next March.

Brandon took the time to teach Quinlan and Waylon how to do the blood sample. While they may not have the strength to hold the tail up, they were pretty good at getting a sample. More on that tomorrow.
