This is the life. It doesn’t look easy but peaceful.😊😊😊

Is there a reason you don’t have any dogs around

[@sunnybedrulefarm]

We only use dogs to move our sheep we never use dogs on the cattle 😊😊

Well adjusted animals

[@rebekajesio810]

How much space you have?

[@jimmclean9312]

Why are they being separated ?

[@junglemungle5896]

Most likely to wean the calves off of their mothers' milk, so that their mothers can provide better for the next batch of calves developing in their wombs. Most beef producers breed their cows every year so they always have a baby in their womb as they're nursing the one at their feet.
