Cow fun (working new calves and moving pastures)

Drought continues, moving cows to new pasture and tagging and banding calves.

Very thankful for the rain. Of course this was obviously filmed before Helene so now I’m keeping all those affected by both hurricanes in my prayers. Your herd sure seems to be calm and gentle for the most part but there’s always got to be that one in every group that’s hard headed. lol It’s amazing how the rest of them just know what to do and they do it. I always hated when it was time to band the calves and castrate the pigs but that’s just part of what has to be done. The wasps, yellow jackets and other unfriendly, pain inducing critters are really getting active now that it’s time for cooler weather to head this way before long. I found two large nests last week myself. The goats didn’t understand that you just don’t lollygag around and take your time getting outta the stinging perimeter. EVACUATE!! Hope your hunting trip to New York was enjoyable and fun as well as very successful. It’s always nice to get away and make some great memories.

You are right I filmed that before I left, since then Helene laid wrath to so many places. Defiantly praying for those folks. And yeah, my herd is pretty calm, unless it has white on its head then they are a little crazy LOL And goats, what can you say they just do their own thing on their own time ha ha We had a great trip, hope to include some of that in my next video.

That time of year, we just moved ours to the last pasture before winter.

@@STA_FARMS yep, lucky for us with all the rain our pastures are growing nicely so maybe we will be able to graze awhile before feeding hay.
