Spring Cattle Working

Yesterday was my husband's last day home before heading out of state for work again. We had a long "to-do" list while he was here, and managed to cross off most of the items. Last, but certainly not least, was our spring cattle working.
My husband and I sorted the cows (Angus cows in one pen, calves in another, the new bull in his own pen, and the longhorns in a separate pen).  A few months ago we had an alleyway built with dual swinging gates and this has made ALL the difference in the world when the two of us sort cattle. It's actually easy now!
The college boy who helps us out, part time, came over to help with the actual cattle working.
First, we ran all the calves through the chute and wormed them, branded any that were too small to brand the last time we worked cattle, and gave shots to any babies born after the last cattle working day.

Next, we ran all of the Angus cows through the chute. Each one was wormed and given a shot of Multi-Min.

We wormed all the longhorns by crowding them in a small pen and using the pour-on wormer (their horns won't fit in this working chute). 

Then we worked our new bull. He was so well behaved! It was impressive! We wormed him, branded him, and gave him a brand new ear tag.

It was a successful day on the farm! Next cattle working will be in July.
