Busy Week

Happy Friday Everyone! 

It's been a busy week at the Pastures of Rose Creek. After two full days filled with many long hours and lots of hard work, we have  succeeded in working ALL the new cattle. 

What does "working" mean you ask? Working cattle means assessing each cow's health and well being and learning as much about them as possible. 


With the assistance of four wonderful vet students, a professor, and several family members, we had to accomplish a handful of things:

We checked each cows age by assessing the condition of their teeth. 

We vaccinated them to help them stay healthy. 



We had a lot of great help from friends and family!
We checked to see who was pregnant.

And which calves belong with which mom.

 We issued fresh new tags to help identify who is who among our cows. 


Overall, it was a lot of hard work, but we are extremely grateful to everyone who pitched in to make this possible!
