Yesterday was quite an exciting day! I got the privilege of working a cattle yard for the first time. We had 5 vets out to the runoff block yesterday to teat seal the heifers (160 of them). This involved us getting the whole herd of heifers out of their paddock and a half a kilometer to the cattle yard. Then we drafted out the heifers five at a time to push up a shoot onto a portable stand where the vets did the teat sealing. It involved swinging many gates around and just moving cattle where they didn't want to go. It took us about four hours to finish the herd but it went pretty smoothly after we got our rhythm down.
I also got to watch dogs herd the hefiers out of the paddock which is really neat to see, I wish I would have videoed it.
It was a beautiful day to do the work yesterday, it was sunny and about 60 degrees, with clear skies that revealed snow covered mountains, you can't beat that!
