Save This Farm



Head'em up/Move'em out

the Sequel


Rated G





Today we chose the next three steers to take to market. The first round up event was a total disaster. The sequel to that event contained no girls running through the pasture, no adult language, no wet T-shirts, and no thrilling action. The first round-up could have been rate PG-13 and today was absolutely a G.


All I had to do was bring out the green bucket of "sweet feed", call for the cows to come and get it. Everyone of them lined up and walked single-file into the corral. It was harder to remove the ones not being sold from the corral than getting the guys who we are saying goodbye to in the corral.


Things I have learned:


1) you can do it the hard way, or the easy way


2) Jake stayed inside with the air conditioning (it is 100 degrees here today) choosing the easy way


3) saying goodbye to cows I have trained is not easy
