I forgot to mention the new fence and gates around the cattle yards. They were built around the middle of November and are invaluable in getting the cows into the yards. I have included a few photographs from each end. You may also be able to see some AI heat patches too. I have been getting the cows into the routine of coming into the yards by putting a half bucket of pellets in a trough and a little bit of lucerne into the yards. I call them and Brownie usually starts coming first and the rest follow. Of course they don't all go in at first but I can usually get them all in with a bit of encouragement. They are much easier to handle now that Star and Freda and their calves have gone.
