Another round of pictures for Bulls

Cleaned up 15 head of bulls today and took some more pictures trying to get some good ones for the catalog.  It's always a challenge with these animals.  At first we were afraid the fog was going to hamper us, but it turned out to be a pretty good day.   Thanks Nathan & Laura for helping us out.

Producer Meetings

We held 2 Producer meetings this week in Oakley & Almo.  Thanks to Larry Gran & Jed Hutchison from Zoetis for presenting the information on GeneMax testing.  We are learning alot about this exciting tool to help with our Ranch and are happy to be promoting it with our bull & heifer sale.

Thank you, Larry Gran from Zoetis.

A great turnout at Almo.  Thank you to Almo Outpost for serving a delicious meal.

Oakley Firestation was a nice setting for our meeting. 

Presenting Oakley FFA Chapter with their Kickback check from Sale.  Looking forward to getting that boosted at this year's sale. 

Which heifer would you choose?  We found in our own data, the eye catching ones may not have the best #'s. 

It was a great time to catch up with old friends.  Bruce Bedke & Ruel Barker

Picture Time!

Our favorite thing to do...pictures for bull sale catalog.  We were able to get alot done yesterday.

The 3 stooges, Brodey, Call, & Cash were the attention getters.

Braden & Robert had the crew of girls..Charlee, Kamri, & Bella cleaning & clipping.  Aubrey overseeing the work. 

Doing whatever it takes to get their attention. Bowdrie playing kitty kitty...

No one move...we are going to get that shot!

New Heifers coming in

We have been getting ready for awhile for the new heifers to arrive.   The first group of 25 came in on Saturday, and a second group of 73 came last night.  One more group to come on Monday.  The plan is to get them bred up and sell as a nice group of bred replacement heifers.

Fresh off the truck and ready to find some pasture.

New water trough installed

New Manger completed. 

Clipping bulls...the fun it is!

Beautiful "spring" weather today helped us get 10 head of bulls clipped in fairly fast time.  Only 74 head left to go now!

Tom & Braden in the front chute clipping & burning.  Robert & Sally were in the back chute cleaning.

These bulls are feeling their oats with the nice weather. 

When they get up close to you, it makes you a little nervous wondering if they're going to stop or just keep coming.  There are some "big boys".
