Getting Cattle Up

Farming is in hay season again. The millet that we planted is short but starting to put out seed heads. We have to cut it before that. So we cut some down.... And it Rained, and rained. Four and a half inches later we have a feild of cut hay laying in water.  So painting time has been far and few between this week.

On top of hay, we check cows at least twice a week to daily. Two cows came up with soar hooves so we need to get the heard up and see what is rong with thier hooves. So we gathered up and rounded the heard up. Since we had so many willing helpers (kids) to go I stayed with the trailor and watched.

While I sat on the trailor watching the guys and kids rounding the heard up. THis was the sun setting across the road. I always want to paint these landscapes but have not taken the time to.

They walked in and sorted the cows. We took the hurt ones yo the house to doctor.
