Counting Cattle

Morning time at the feedlot!  Everyone stands around, kicks the dirt, and tries to figure out which way to go!


We feed First!  Maddie choose the horses to feed instead of the cows!

Then we break for lunch.  Mom and Ash cooking it up in the kitchen and where was I???  Ok once again I have 3 kids.... I was rocking the baby! 

Yes that is fried catfish and Yes we are from Georgia

Homemade French Fries


Mama's homemade coleslaw


yep... there is that GA thing again
Watermelon


Back to work! 
Nana and Mary Richard calling the cattle



Mooooooo cow

so, they load them in the chute

there they are

Rhinestone cowboy and Boss Hog worming the cattle and change the ear tags

Now here is where our job comes in...
we would count the cattle when they came out of the shoot
It doesn't sound hard.... but we lost count many times

I still wonder about this one
Singing "Oh Happy Day... you wash my sins away" 
And shaking her booty???

Counting is really hard
Even Tex was involved and yes that is blood all over the door
but not from today

This job was so hard that Mary Richard fell asleep


Long day work is all finished!
Mr. Biggs was a little too happy about it

Papa I want a lift


Now here they are
all de-wormed and de-tagged all 127
I love this picture with the shadows of all the cowboys and then little Maelee in the middle
What a wonderful day spent at the farm!
by the way she took this picture maybe I should give her the camera more often!

  1. What a pleasure to see a hard working family having fun with the whole family. It's a shame there aren't more families who enjoy life with family. Lots of love to you all. Erlene
