we had our first weekend full working calves and pulling off old dry heifers of 2011 last weekend. as usual, it was very exciting and entertaining. i get really excited when we get to do this, because im usually the only girl that goes and the boys are so fun to watch to flank those calves. this time, i was the one to give the vaccines with the vaccination gun, and yes i said gun ;) it has a nice big fat needle on the end. wellll, grant had flanked a calf and was holding it down and i went to give it it's shot and apparently went in too fast and grant didnt have time to move his hand.....so yes it happened... i stuck the needle through grants finger!!!! OOPS!! he was fine dont worry! but it bled so much u woulda though ti cut off his finger lol!as usual, there were a few kicks and run overs by the calves and many many bouts of laughter. grant, me, wade, and john were horse back to gather the cows 1st, so thats always an interesting task haha! this 1st rounf of working calves turned out great and i cant wait for the next one!!
i call her cookie(for cookies and cream)
grant countin calves
baby tip, i named him tip because he has white only just on the tip of this tail
wade
crossin the road to the other calves
the boys had to build a pin on this side of the road, we had cows on both sides of the road
we ear mark them once they've been vaccinated and cut, so the next time we work calves we know which ones we have already done
this poor cows eye...
i seeeee youuuuu lol
oh my gosh i laughed so hard at you putting the needle thru grant's hand. don't tell him! that is so funny. i can't just hear him hollering at you "shuggah you've got the needle thru me bloody finga!!!" hahahaha that's such a great story. i hope he's ok of course.
