We put ear tags in the calves a week ago.  They look so much alike!  Fumiko, Sachi and Akira are #001, 002, and 003 respectively.  And we have #18- Lilly, #19- Rocky, and #20 Reggie.  Much easier to know who’s who.  It has been very hot and humid the past month and because of that we have kept the cattle in their winter paddock where they have the shed and shade from the hot sun.  That means we are also using up the hay bales we just made!  But we feel better knowing they are able to stay cool.  We are also getting ready to sell our four steers soon.  We might sell two or three of our older cows also this Fall.  Not sure about the Angus calves yet- we really don’t need to keep any more. Plus, we think there’s a couple more calves due this month!   We want to cut the herd down a bit so we don’t need so much hay over the winter.  In a couple weeks we should be haying second crop!  Time is flying by!!
