Calf working

[murphranch]

A neighbors wife took some pics one day back in January while we worked some calves and spread out a bunch of steers we recieved this winter.

Wow look at all those steaks on the hoof!
You know, that looks a whole lot like hard work.

I spent 20 years on a large South Fla ranch doing the same thing. The only difference that I see is that we put everything into the crevice and then a hundred or so at a time into the pens and used a 5 way parting gate to separate calves from cows. We caught all calves on the ground and castrated, vaccinated, marked ears, and branded. We bought and tried a calf table but it was MUCH slower than catching by hand.
Then we worked all the grown cattle through the pens. We bought a Trojan Hydraulic Chute and that was one of the best investments we ever made. It sure made working the cows and bulls a heap easier.

We sprayed for years but were not getting the tail lice so we built several dipping vats at different cow-pens scattered across the ranch. We had a branding pot just like yours. Sure beats a fire.

I sure do miss that life and lifestyle.

Anyone else come to this thread looking for a lower body workout?

Same here. Not sure why either of us would have thought that was the case in an ODT thread but it is what it is.

Still, great pics OP.

Awesome. How big is the ranch and how many head of cattle?
What jobs do you have for old out of shape help with no usable ranch skills? Asking for a friend...
