More pictures guys sorry for the photo spam but I thought it might be interesting for some to see the headgate process. Saturday we vaccinated, wormed and ear tagged all the calves. This was their first time being caught in the headgate and it is a very nervous time for cows but they all did really well.

Jacklyn,
Great livestock here...beautiful!
We are some issues with the uploads though..Were these capture with a smart phone, if so what kind? Could you try and repost them? could you also email me the pics? I want to see exact image you are uploading before the forum software resizes it. Thanks. (brewmaster15@comcast.net)

Who wouldn't be nervous in that position?!
it doesn't hurt at all Steve, the gate doesn't actually do any squeezing around their necks. its mainly there to keep them still while we do our work. The ear tag doesn't really hurt either as their ears are mostly cartilage, a few didn't even flinch when we did it.
Now comes the hard part of this whole job, selling. I have a habit of getting overly close with these calves. This year we didn't name them, just assigned them numbers. Secretly in my head they have names though, but I don't tell my husband.

They are gorgeous Jacklyn. I can see it being hard to sell them. Way to easy to get attached to young animals.

Your discus are talking to you....are you listening
I was imagining this was also their position before slaughter. Better to have them used to it. Sorry if that's offensive, just thinking. I buy grass fed beef from a local rancher.
Thanks Pat, I am really liking my role as a cattleman. Looking forward to next spring when we will have 12 calves (providing everything goes well) Its hard to believe that we started with three cows, 3 years ago and next spring if all the calves make it we will have 30 head.

So happy for you and your husband Jacklyn. They all look wonderful and as I was viewing the photos my daughter standing behind me said she wants one...however not possible I told her living in the city.
