@fuzzi, yes @Finnie is right... they got loaded on the trailer and moved back to the pasture where I had gotten them caught up the other day... simply because they will come back to the nurse cow pasture (snyder's) to calve... but I have the 13 there that calved this fall, and they have to get moved to winter fields to get bred for next year's calf... Nothing here is now "leadable" as far as cattle go... and way too far on way too busy roads to try to drive them down the road like a "cattle drive"... we used to do that with cattle from one place to another that was about a mile or so... dirt roads.... half a dozen friends to block off some driveways and turn the cattle up the other road....
Just got off the tractor... all the hay is raked... except the little bit by his house... he can do that himself.

DS had raked the little piece down where we made the last hay... the guy asked if he would cut it and take it so he said yes... He then brought the rake to Deb's and I took him back to get his truck...The hay is totally dry... he can bale all of it...

I came in to eat a "late lunch" sandwich at 3:45..... Got the clothes off the line, going to go get another 5 gal bucket of chicken feed from the bin to fill the turkey feeder and refill their waterers. Got stuff to put in the explorer... some cardboard boxes broken down for possible chicken purchases... my pull behind little wagon/cart in case I need it...
Checked the heifer with the new calf earlier before I got on the tractor/rake... Calf was laying quiet and heifer came over to see what I was doing... I have not seen it nurse, but it seemed quite content. I am going to go back up there and check her again... I would like to see it nurse her once....

So, off I go to get the chicken feed and get that done while it is daylight... have to fill the explorer with gas after the dr appt trip yesterday....

Thank you. I've learned much about cattle just reading posts like yours...enough to realize I don't know much!
