Bossy Boots Ranch - Happy Mini Cows

This is Chocolate Chunk’s FRIYAY face!! See that little nose curl?!?! 🤎

Also, she didn’t duck her head when I pulled out the camera so … Progress!!

Are you Team Ear Tag or Team No Tag? Is it aesthetic for you or necessary? Is it ok to switch teams? Asking for a friend …

We’ve been Team No Tag. I like the aesthetic and we’ve had enough variation in calves that I haven’t needed it.

This year most our calves are Highpark. 😳 Across the field they look The Same. Right now I tell them apart by walking across the field and seeing them scamper to their mamas. 😆 There’s a few differences — only one bull, one with red tips, one with dun tips.

But the rest are … copy paste heifers. I even suspect they’re all chondro.

So this year for identification and record keeping, we’re tagging. I got an xTool laser etcher that I’m dialing in settings, and as soon as I decide names we’re gonna get after it.

Peekaboo! I see you, little girl!
