Emily, Summer, and myself were with TJ for the whole day moving and treating cows. We moved the steers (big and small) from the fields that they were in to 2 fields right across the gravel road. We had to do some running around to get them there, but that was okay. They were happier in the tall grass for it.
We moved all the weeners into their perspective fields. My favorite little girl, TH15, managed to escape almost as soon as we put her in the field with Barbara's ladies. We had to chase her twice before we could to drop off the little boys. That took most of the morning.
After lunch we made a fence line for the bulls and trailered them up and brought them over to their new home. T-bone, however, did not want to go in the trailer. We spent the better part of an hour chasing this bull around. He must have jumped the electric fence at least 6 times. Finally we had to call in reinforcements and we got them in.
Lastly, we treated the usual suspects down in the 5 acres. 5G and S29 are doing much better. S25 is walking better as well so that is all well and good. I'm getting better at sticking the tube down the cows throats to give pills. However, poor S10 is probably going to die on us tonight. She came down with a bad case of pneumonia a couple of days ago and is only getting worse. We gave her an IV of glucose, banamine, and B complex, but when we left she could barely prop herself up laying down. I guess we'll see in the morning.
This is Emily kissing 5G, her cow!
