Yesterday, we did our Spring round of shots and put in fly tags. This is about a month earlier than normal for fly tags, but because of weather conditions they needed them. This will most likely mean that we will need to put more tags in later this summer to keep the flies off and the number of pinkeye cases down to a minimum. We do this so that the cattle remain healthy and the calves can continue to grow. It took us all day to get the shots done and bring the bulls home to give them shots and tags. After the bulls were done, we sorted the cows as to which ones went with which bulls. Since our animals are registered, we have to keep the bulls separate so that we will know which calves are from which bulls. We then moves 'Marbelizer' and his cows over to the other farm and turned 'Boss' and his cows out into the pasture. We are keeping this group at the house until Wednesday when the daycare comes for their field trip. They will be moved to another pasture after this visit.
Wednesday, we are to have about 20 two-year-old children at the farm for a field trip. We are excited to see their faces when they see and touch the animals. We will have two show heifers for them to pet as well as Clara Bell and Baby (our horse). It should be a fun filled two hours.
There is only five days until our daughter's wedding! We are busy prepping for this and making sure everything is ready to go. This week is extremely busy at our house, but we wouldn't traded any of it. We are excited to introduce young children to the animals and to make our family larger (officially) on Saturday.
I hope you enjoy your week and take the time to say thank you when you can.
Until next time, remember.......Beef, It's What's for Dinner!
