Well on November 1, 2006 we sold the calves. Here some of the herd come up for a innocent drink, not knowing what will be happening in a few hours.
Greg and I were in the truck and Tim was on the quad bringing the cows up from down below. It was quiet interesting, because as you can see we had a bit of snow. Well Greg`s truck was in the shop and Tom has his down in California, so we had no 4X4. We had to load Chevy up with a bunch of bales so we had some weight in the back of the 2 wheel drive - I guess it worked, cuz we didn`t get stuck!!!
These next two pictures are of the herd in the pens. Every year when we wean, I always wish that I had my camera.
We took the calves to High River, using our neighbor's cattle liner. It is kinda exciting, cuz Greg pulled it with the farm`s new toy, which is a semi. I tried getting a picture of it, but it was too dark by the time we loaded the calves; I can`t believe how fast it gets dark now. Anyways at the sale I ran into my great uncle. I haven`t seen him for about a year so it was great to visit with him. He and his sister who are both well into their 80`s calve out 100 head on their own and they had their calves in the sale as well.
