100th Calf!

Brian and Nick tagging 100th calf
On March 4th we tagged the 100th calf, we are getting about 15 a day or more. After we tag the calf and give it some vaccines, we turn the pair out in a separate pasture.
Turning out
"My Turn!"

Cow and calf waiting to go out gate. The older cows know the routine and some even wait at the gate!
"I am Cute!"
      Heifers in the back pen behind house waiting for their turn to calve. We put the closest ones in this pen to watch them better and put them in the barn when they start calving. These are the 2 and 3 year old heifers. Every day brings us new life and the birthing of new calves is always an exciting event. It makes long days but we ranchers care about our cows. Stay tuned for more weekly stories.   Cynthia,  Nelson Ranch.
