The herd of cows on Sept. 10, all aredue and are calving unassisted 10 kms. from home on the Pasture Farm.

The working corrals, including a set of birth scales, used to weigh every calf born on the pasture farm. Not as high tech as the calving barn, but the protective pen here, keeps mom outside, as the calf is held in the calfbox - to be weighed, tagged, and needled. We even got wheels for this one to pull it behind the ATV if we have to go catch the calf !!!


Not even aday old calf, a full South, jogging in front of mom - belly full and about to cross the scale and get three holes in his ear.

The cows coming into the centre corral where free running fresh water is avaialble in two bunk water troughs. The working corrals are in the background.


The cowherd in the centre corral with the two water bunks, and an empty hay feeder. We call it the pasture farm, so they get pasture until the snow flies !!.
