Sorting

Now that all of our cattle were home, we needed to do some sorting.

We have more work to do with our heifers, so we had to keep them separate.

With six of us in the alley, the cows didn’t have a chance!

Eartag numbers were called, Brandon and Johnny had collaborated on a list, cows either went “in” through Tess’ gate, or “by” into my gate, or even “triangle” for that shaped section of the corral behind me.

Thousands of steps later…

and a couple of miles on horseback…

and a short session of babysitting in the front of a pickup…

The cows were all in the right place… ready for tomorrow’s round of work!
