Weaning calves

This afternoon I began to wean this year's calves.  Let the bawling begin!

And within a few hours the bawling did begin.  It has gone on almost non-stop since and continues to this late hour.  Based on last year's weaning I imagine it will go all night with a short lull for the cattle to sleep.

The cattle following me to the corral to start the weaning process.

Here is a 2 minute 44 second video of the cattle bawling this evening:  https://youtu.be/UWqyjXdDcnI



 We have a full - to near full - moon tonight.  Great... just great. The better for the cattle to see one another tonight so they can call to one another.
