A Lot of Bull

My day yesterday included a lot of bull ... probably 4,500 pounds of it. 

I was standing behind the trailer door, ready to slam it shut when they decided to get in!

It also involved some cows and calves, too. But that's another story.

After the veterinarian visit yesterday, we sorted off three bulls and took them to their winter home. Each of the big boys probably tipped the scales at 1,500 to 1,600 pounds. However, there will likely be more "bull" after the winter, since the guys will have their own meal delivery and won't have to forage for food on their own. Also, they won't be distracted by their ... shall we say ... job. (Wink, wink!) By next spring, they will be back to their working weight - around 1,800 pounds.

Today is another day of cattle round-up at the Ninnescah Pasture. The veterinarian will be back on Friday to preg-check the ladies. And we'll deliver another three bulls to their winter vacation spot.

The bulls probably didn't notice the scenery, but I did. It looks like pretty nice digs to me, fellas. (I should clarify. Their digs aren't the road. It's the pasture to the north. But the cottonwoods decked out in fall colors sure spruce up the place, don't they?)
