Moo-ving On

The bull with many names including  #41, BoBridges and My Stalker was one of two long yearling bulls we still had for sale from the 2011 calving season.

Last week, we had a couple come out to the farm to look at the bulls and decided #41 would make a good fit for their cattle. But they did not want him right away. They had to figure out what to do with the current bull they had that was, in their words, a dud.

Well it took less than a week for them to figure out what to do with the dud in question and called to see if Mike could deliver #41 today. It so happened that the hay field he mowed on Monday could not be fluffed on Tuesday because it was raining. The rain is not affecting the quality of the hay because it had not yet begun the drying/curing process. The wind rows did not even look wilted yet. With a delay in the hay making, Wednesday made for a very good day indeed to deliver the bull.

Congratulations to #41 aka My Stalker, I’m sure you will be very happy with your own group of females to keep company and the new name of Herd Sire can be added to your ever growing list of names. The two newly weaned bulls that have been sharing the bull pen with you will have to keep each other company since you are leaving and will have to learn on their own how to transition from calf to yearling. I will miss your looming presence at the corner of the barn as I spend my hours bundling firewood for the project that keeps me busy. It has been interesting watching you watching me during your time at our farm.
