This past weekend we went to Oak City. My dad was working on the calves, so the kids were sent up to "help" him. They watched him brand, tag, give shots and got some anatomy lessons when it came time for castrating. They had a good time, but spent most of the time on the fence.

They each wrote on one tag, and then they got to tag "their very own" calf using the tag that they made.

I think i got a few lessons just from the pics! I haven't seen ya forever. I hope you're doing wonderful! Happy mom's day yesterday.
I have good memories of farming with your dad. I remember going to change sprinklers with you and getting eaten alive by mesquitoes!
So you grew up on a farm? I learned a few things from the picts too. That would be so much fun for kids! (minus the anatomy lesson and surgery, but who knows) Looks like good ol' summer days with the kids on the fence!! Cute!
Good idea to have someone ELSE make the cookies...I never thought of that one!
