This afternoon Tobey the bull was sniffing around a few of the cows. Some stood up for him to check. One cow refused as she wasn't interested and continued to refuse when Tobey pushed against her. Eventually he gave up and went to another cow. Since I don't want any January newborn calves, and it has been three weeks since the first cow gave birth, it was time to put Tobey into the south corral by himself. Since I didn't want him mingling with the heifers I moved the heifers from the south corral to the loading corral until Tobey went into the south corral. Then I let the heifers out and the cows into the corral to eat hay. Tobey was bummed as the hay in the south corral is from a bale of Calvin's hay and not the oats/grain hay from my field. Later in the evening he was eating from his bale.

The heifers did fine mingling/eating with the other cows, though some cows refused to let the heifers eat next to them.
Here are some calf photos...
