Weaning at Sunrise

We weaned calves under a gorgeous Wyoming sunrise earlier this week.

In the midst of this busy portraits season, I changed hats and cowgirl’d for the day.

The cows are pretty gentle and they like us a lot so it’s pretty easy to get them to follow us in the truck. Patrick calls for them while I rattle the cake sack. Works every time.

Tom hangs behind to make sure no one breaks off from the herd.

The went right into the corral and then we sorted them. We took the steers to the sale and brought have 5 heifers home, bawling for momma. I’m keeping the bunk full of hay and by day 4 (today), they have settled down quite bit.

Have a great weekend folks!
