Checking Cows

Friday I ran to Bicknell to pick up Braden and Caib. They'd been at a friends house in Teasdale On our way home. We got a call from Roger. His first question was, "Where are You?"

"We're just passing the airport road on our way home from Bicknell" Says I
"Would you mind stopping by the field on your way home and having Braden and Caib Check the cows?"

"Sure" I reply. We stopped at the corral and the boy's hopped out. Luckily Caib happened to have his chore boots with him.

They saunter in to the corral and start checking out those cows.

Getting a little closer trying not to cause a commotion

Braden does some serious checking.

They make their way through the rest of the cows checking everyone of 'em

Well, with that done they decide they'll walk down the road to the stop sign to clean off their boots a little

and wait for Me to pick them up.

Alright, alright. No, checking cows isn't something that has to be done everyday of the year
If you looked at the pictures closely enough you might have guessed that the cows have started calving and they've been dropping calves right and left. The cows have to be watched closely in case of any problems. I love the light in these pictures. I love the responsibility my boys are learning. I love watching them grow and learn.
