Moving 1st-Calf Heifers.

Published: Feb 25, 2015 by Kay Schrock · This post may contain affiliate links · 5 Comments

Yesterday My Cowboy moved our personal herd of 1st-calf heifers to the corrals. We have a small herd of 1st-timers, so it didn't take him too long to get them moved. It was a sunny. bright day, but windy and cold.

He rode up the hill a bit, so they wouldn't try to go where they didn't belong.

Cold weather gear includes a wool Scotch cap, down vest, Carhartt coat, leather leggings, and silk wild rag. (neck scarf) Riding in the cold wind calls for lots of warm layers.

All done...

Happy calving season! 😉
