Today's babysitter is Ruby.  That's her dun bull calf, Repeater, right in front of her. 

It's hard to believe that it's been nearly three weeks since the last post.  I think that means we are busy! 

The herd has been "worked" for the season - worming, shots, drawing blood for pregnancy tests for the fall girls, pulling tail hairs and more.  With only the two of us doing the deeds, it takes a few days and lots of moving here and there.  Many bruises, a few pulled muscles and one good conk on the head and we are done!  We won't be doing this again until weaning.  Hurray!

We've decided to sell our marshmallow bull, Gladhour Winchester.  Chris will be taking A.I. classes so that we'll be able to keep only one bull and daughters from that one bull.  Since red seems to be our favorite color, we'll be keeping 'Dance and selling Winchester.  He's three years old, polled and dun. He doesn't carry red.  He is easy going as they come.  Let us know if you'd like a great herd sire.

This is Mulgwen.  She is our last remaining holdout for the spring calving season.  Today she's finally gone off by herself, but we still haven't seen a baby yet.  Anxiously awaiting something!  Anything!  We'd even take another bull calf.  Really.
