Spring Has Arrived!




There are many sign that Spring is here within this one picture and some that can not be seen.  One sign is the mud around the feeders.  It is something that happens and we must deal with.  Mud slows us down and can even get us stuck when on foot or in a vehicle!  Mud can also be dangerous to the cattle if we do not watch them.

Another sign of Spring is the calves.  One of them has decided to play King of the Mountain on the hay bale.  It is so relaxing to just watch them run and play.  The one on the left of the feeder had been butting the feeder and acting like he was fighting it.  I was laughing so hard I couldn't get a picture of it!

Did you notice the green grass in the background?  Another sure sign that Spring has arrived!

One sign that you can not see in the picture is us doing heat detection so that we can AI (Artificially Inseminate) the cows.  So far, we have bred six cows this season.  They are several more that we would like to AI before turning the bulls in with the cows.  This means more relaxing time sitting in the pasture watching the cows and calves while listening to the quiet.  Just what my doctor has ordered to begin and end stressful days!  Don't you wish your job was this relaxing?

Until next time,  remember.......Beef, It's What's for Dinner!
