| Feeding Time |
This time of the year, we are calving out 435 cows and 154 heifers. Today we now have 285 calves born. We get about 10 to 15 a day now. Calving is definitely in full Swing!

| Getting Ready to Calve |
Cows are in the Calving pen, about 15 acres. Here they are checked every 3 to 4 hours round the clock to check for any problems.

Great MOM!
Cows are fed in the morning and then the calves are tagged and given 3 vaccinations to prevent diseases. |
