Oh no! Charlie passed out! 😂
The calves are all doing great with the rope halters so time for them to get a lesson with halters with a little more pressure under their chin with a chain. I put it on Charlie and he just fell over! Such a drama queen! I threatened to put him in the crock pot and he decided that he is actually not giving up on life just yet! 🤣
This is a Little Moo Coo halter and the others have Thomas Dexter halters. I am not sure if you buy these any more.

The boys first time being tied up with the stierwalt breaking halter. Bathing them really helps teach them to be calm and accepting to being cleaned everywhere. The water feels so good on a hot day. They don’t put up much of a fuss for their first tie up. It’s also a great way to desensitize to being fly sprayed.

Dandylion and Firecracker have discovered the opening to access the calf feeding area. They were curious what Yelana was doing in the pen and followed her in! That worked nicely so I didn’t even have to train them where to go.
Charlie!!
Why, why is it always you Mr. Mischievous! 🤣😂
I’m going to miss you and your shenanigans when you go to MS to your new home.

I went for a visit to Walnut Springs Ranch this morning to meet Walnut's Bojangles and the rest of the "boy" herd. What a delight! This little boy will be my new herd sire!🥰I am so excited for the opportunity to own this bull! My friend came along to meet this super sweet herd of Dexters too. The calves were too irresistible for even Wayne not to want to pet them.
I am hoping to add another Cascade bull to my herd in the future as well. Just waiting for the right one. Perhaps Cascade's Shade is carrying him?!
Weaning time! The bulls are all 8 months old. The mommies are definitely more distressed then their babies! I usually use Quiet wean and FerAppease to make the transition easier.

Alfred is dropped off. He self loaded this morning when I open the trailer up and put his feed inside. I would have liked to had more finish on him. Perhaps I should have kept him through summer. He will still be tasty!
Alfred will be heading to freezer camp in the morning. 🥺To help him be more relaxed for his excursion, I loaded him in the trailer a couple times and gave him his feed inside. He even self loaded a couple times after I took the halter off.
So much for sleeping in (past 7am) on Sunday morning. I looked out the window to see that my heifer calf herd was out. I had let them graze around the barn and some one knocked the chair over my "dummy" fence was tied to. No big deal. No danger of them getting on the road or with "big cows". Just had to get a bribe and call their names. Happy Sunday!

Do you think Dandylion is asking to be halter broke already? She snuck in the barn and the cow halter is what she chose to play with.
