Sometimes I think they’re smart cows. Sometimes they’re dumb. Of course it’s mostly perspective.

Smart: This weekend I moved my fence each day as normal. One day, I moved the wire but forgot to move the pigtail posts. So the wire laid on the ground for 24 hours. The cows were smart enough not to cross. Normally the calves and yearlings would cross. Or are they dumb for not going to more grass?

Dumb: This fence movement was not a direct path from upfront where I feed them grain. So the next day I call them for grain and they line up along the fence like they don’t know how to get back to me. Or did they just want grass more than grain?

Time to start weaning. 3 of 5 for now.

The preparation for the cold worked as it should. Water staying thawed with the freeze miser and water heater and started feeding the hay. Leaves me with watching for trouble and feeding some daily grain!

The calves were a bit rambunctious this evening.

We had an 85 lb heifer born yesterday which resulted in me being in the cold today.

She’s out of a GAR Hometown grandson, AAA # 21081865 and my bull’s dam which descends from Wilk’s Regiment, AAA # 20248178.
