That's definitely extra money in the bank.

When we pull our calves they go up to Caleb's grandparents house, so we really don't have to that much....and his grand parents are hard of hearing and also raise dogs that bark all the time, so they really don't hear them either ;) but it does break my heart to hear them holler for a week. I always love it when it works out and we can wean them by the sign of the moon and then they only holler for maybe a day!Janet Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14312866682687248984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5790327154193097194.post-19559482652717168782013-09-04T19:03:41.069-05:002013-09-04T19:03:41.069-05:00We have never used those before.

We have our steers sold, then will preg mamas the next day and turn them out in a field that hasn't been grazed since early spring. Heifers stay with mama until the snow flies and they get hay then put in the feed bunk where they become hogs! LOL! <br />What a sweet looking little bull calf. Looks like a keeper to me.CDHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08199340649340083682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5790327154193097194.post-83003054104890103452013-09-04T16:29:24.674-05:002013-09-04T16:29:24.674-05:00Looks awesome!!

We have a ton of sounds when we break our mares from the foals. I wonder if it would work on them.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04531536123948218216noreply@blogger.com
