PICS COMING TOMORROW....Hopefully

I have had about 500 phone calls in the last week asking for pics and I have told everyone the same story...probably not going to happen.  Well thanks to the great help of Sarah Fuller (by far the best help I have ever had when it comes to mowing these things out) we got done a day early!  100 Head in two and a half days is not that bad if you ask me.  When you have to load a days work of calves on a semi  to take them back to the yard you know you are getting through them fast. 

I am going to try to take some pictures Friday morning and post them on the blog by mid afternoon...I hope this will trip a few triggers and calm everyone down about asking for pictures.  I wish I could have done a better job but we are just to busy right now.  The calves look great and we are extremely excited to show off this set.
Heres a few phone pics I took at the end of today

This is only HALF of the calves!

Here is my best helper taking the calves to be sorted.  He is also the "make him walk down that fence man" for videos as well as the "get their ears forward guy" for taking pics.  Some calves end up with a bloody nose for not moving or are looking towards the ground in a picture but we make it work.

Last but not least after a long day everyone is in their pen according to price and at the bunk...well this is everyone except the "behind the barn" pen where everyone always wants to go first!
We will have 5 pens of cattle
1-Heifers
2-$1100-1400 Steers
3-$1400-1700 Steers
4-$1700-2000 Steers
5-"Behind the Barn" $2000+
