What a wonderful springlike day… warm, snow melting everywhere… runoff turning the creek from clear to red… and more babies! Our cows have now started having babies as well, so within two weeks we’ll be surrounded by calves – bucking, playing, running wild with tails in the air! For now, I have the second video…

Heifers Step 1
I have a series of videos showing how we calve our heifers. Tonight is step one… The gathering of the small area where they spend their days. If any calves want to be born in daylight, we’ll just push them up to the corral and pen them. However, if they choose to be born at…
