Sale Calves Are Being Weaned

All 2012 sale calves are being weaned as of today, we're trying a new experiment to reduce stress on both the calves, the mothers, fences, and us.

Sale calves are sired by Boardwalk, Eye Candy, Highliner, Mercedes Benz, and Monopoly.

Once the weaning is over, we will be halter breaking the 9 other steers.  5 heifers and 1 steer are halter broke now.

Halter Breaking Begins

Started halter breaking sale calves for the September 15th sale today along with today's helpers Liam and Caleb Boswall. They have picked out their favourite heifer as tag 40, Monopoly X Angus. First day with a rope on her and she is as quiet as a kitten.  We will have 10-12 steers and 3-5 heifers with dates of birth from mid November to early January.  Calves are sired by Boardwalk, Eye Candy, Highliner, Mercedes Benz, and Monopoly.
