Working The Cows

With three new babies and a bull on the way, we knew we had to update shots and put in ear tags.  Several months ago, Peg purchased a cow working system.  It is designed to confine and control the cows with the least amount of danger and stress (for them not us--lots of stress for us) so they can be given their shots, etc.
First we had a pad of sand laid out
. 

The system was delivered and fitted together.

The fencing to guide the cows into the system was planned and installed.

Of course the final step was to make an appointment with the Vet and take care of all she needed to do.  The Vet was great and "The Girls" weathered their yearly shots.  Also the babies were officially tagged and brought into the herd.

Our stress has been reduced because the system worked as hoped and we are moving forward with our little herd.
