Salt feeder fix

Today is Saturday and - surprise! - no newborn calves.  I still have two cows and two heifers left to calve and they all look very pregnant.  Tomorrow is the last day of the second heat cycle period after the cows and heifers were exposed to the bull last year.

Beulah was in heat today.  When she was in the corral Toby the bull would always be just on the other of the fence as Beulah.  When Beulah drank from the water trough this evening Toby put his head through the opening and smelled Beulah.  I had to 'shush' him away from the opening as he was straining to get closer to Beulah and I could see the fence strain.


When not licking salt from the wooden salt feeders the cattle like to scratch their itch against the corners.  The other day they broke one of the feeders.  This evening I spent some time fixing and strengthening the feeder.
