I know I haven't posted on here for a long time but things have been extremely hectic around our place and lack of sleep is starting to get to all of us. We have been averaging about 15 to 20 calves a day but the last two days we have had closer to 30. There is new life springing up everywhere. :) The good thing is the temperatures seems to be taking a turn for the better even though we get a few spurts of snow here and there.
Trent and I have been busy tagging all of the new babies and getting them to new pastures. My dad (Jim) and Trent's dad (Darrell) have been in charge of feeding all of the hungry critters and my mom (Darlene) is the mobile veterinary unit. Once those babies are out on pasture she makes sure that everyone stays healthy and happy. She is often seen with a couple of kids and a dog or two loaded up assisting her with her duties. Around our place everyone gets in on the fun.
As of April 1st, 2013, we are about 1/2 done calving. Once we get to the halfway mark, everyone seems to breathe a sigh of relief. We are at the top of the hill and things are usually easier going down, Right?? Either way those babies are going to be born and we have to be there to help them into this world. There are going to be some long days ahead but ranching is our passion and we wouldn't trade it.
