A Moving Day

Pickup and stocktrailer parked by barn.The time has come for our loaner herd to return home since the grass supply has dried up with the summer weather.

Three cows, two calves and a yearling bull were all loaded up at the neighbor farm about 20 miles from the farm. They had done a good job cleaning up all the extra growth around the barnyards and into the pastures.

Once home the cows and calves were turned out into the main herd and the bull was moved into the bull pen with another bull about the same age. The first hour of their return yielded a lot of pushing, shoving, sniffing and chasing but they have all calmed down quickly and by dinner time all was well once again on the farm.
