Angus cattle vetted in calf, and half driven up the road
Apr 29 2010
All but two of my Angus cattle were vetted in calf. I’m happy with that! The two empties will go into my Lake Farm Beef program.
They were also all weighted (averaged 435KGs) and we then split the herd (21 for me and 22 for a neighbour). We then drove the neighbours cattle up the road (2 kilometers) to their new home.
The 21 head I am keeping were then “introduced” to my Simmental herd (they will all run together). After a few hours of being bullied they all settled in.
My little mate was helping me!
So, hopefully, thats the end of all the stress for the herd. From leaving Parnassus to get settled in on new farms must have been quite traumatic for them.
