Summer is almost here

Here are some of our yearlings resting on a cool, overcast mid-June morning after filling up on some high quality forage. We are two months away from the start of our harvest season and the group is fattening up nicely. They will definitely be well finished by their harvest date and look to be the nicest set of yearlings we have ever raised.
​
This is one of our busiest times of the year here on the ranch as we have just finished first cutting hay harvest and are into the second week of artificial insemination (AI) season while keeping up with irrigation. Ferdinand is now turned in with our four late calving cows along with a few others that I chose not to AI. By the end of the month, all the cows and calves will be turned back together after I finish AI season and Ferdinand will have the job of breeding any cows that did not become pregnant during the first heat cycle. Last year I did not have a clean-up bull, so I'm relieved that Ferdinand will be on the job this year.
