Getting ready to start feeding hay

Brodey, "Queenie", Kamri, & "Annie" climbed up on the stack of straw bales to run for a while after setting up the picture pen for tomorrow's project.  We'll start clipping up the bulls and taking pictures/videos.  Let the fun begin! 

We have been enjoying the mild weather so far, but know that the time is soon coming that we'll have to start feeding the cows.  Although, the cows should be grateful they are in Malta right now and not in Elba as we got quite a bit of snow with this last storm.  The cows at Malta were spread out and grazing today when we went down to weigh the bulls.

Weighed 90 head of bulls and averaged 1088 lbs. They are bigger than you think when you get behind them and start pushing them up the chute. 


We had to finally get another Dodge truck to replace the good Ol' Tank!  The guys have been in process of switching over the hydra-bed and attachments to get it ready to go.  Not an easy task. 


R.I.P!
