The guys scour guarded our cows today… as well as something new we’re trying… injectable minerals. Scours, as I’ve talked about before, can really wreck your calving season… Mineral supplements can help keep your herd in tip top health, so instead of having them just eat their minerals, this year, we’re giving them a shot….

BVD
Bangs Vaccination Day. The day when your friendly veterinarian visits with vaccine, a vet shield tattoo, green ink, a toothbrush, and numbered metal tags. It was also the day of the local food co-op, so a mad 40 mile round trip dash started the morning. Followed by unloading of said food… anyone want to share…
Good One
A little corral work today… We shipped off some little steers to a local feedlot… We usually feed them ourselves throughout the winter on hay (and some years, extra barley or oats). This is the first time we’ve ever done this… They’ll come back in the spring and we’ll put them out on grass until…
They Noticed
The guys worked our replacement heifers today. We’ve decided to keep quite a few this year… Today’s the day they get their “grown-up” eartags, the ones they had until now simply matched their mothers… They get a matching number tattoo in their left ear. They get the number 1 branded on their left hip for…
PAP Testing Video
Wow… Seems like this was pretttttyyy interrrrresting, eh? I’ll answer a few questions from yesterday’s comments first. Jake, seeing as how you’re *closer* to CSU, seems like you could put out some feelers for upcoming clinics, or contact Dr. Holt directly and see where he’s talking next. He’s well worth a drive! Darrell, you don’t…

Stick around, all of you, you might find this interesting!…

We loaded a few girls on the truck this morning. Time to say goodbye… Thanks, girls. Of course, the supervisors were there.

Reader’s Digest Version
Well, I didn’t take the time to figure out why my camera won’t download some of my videos. I’m not sure if its a memory thing, or if its unreadable for some other reason. Which is too bad, because I have great movies of Quinlan’s first bull sale! You’d think the sound and activity would…
