Workday....

Saturday was a big workday for us.  After regular chores, we moved a bunch of cow/calf pairs out to a fresh pasture and then gathered another bunch up to bring in.  We sorted the calves off and boosted their vaccinations and Hubs greased the udders on these mother cows.  They had had some harsh weather conditions which gave them a bit of chapping.  

After lunch, it was on to the sheep.  They were brought into the sheep corrals where we sorted the ewes away from the lambs.  S. and I, along with the dogs, were herding the sheep into the alley to sort them. 

Down the alley they go!

Our dogs love their job!

A. gave the lambs deworming medicine, a drench down the throat.

 

Sorting the bucks (the big ones) away from the ewes and lambs.

Hubs is counting the ewes out  the gate.  It's funny to me how they always jump when going through the gate -- a statement of freedom and joy!

This is Penny, our son's family's dog who loves to work sheep too.
Notice how tight the rope is?

It's time for some refreshment! 

Have a Coke and a smile!
