Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Calf Table

Jim, it is that time of the year!


Looks like a handy calf table and a good crew. Other than it's drier than hell we can't complain about the weather either...


We got done seeding wheat and went right back to the cows and branded 3 times last week.

Couple mini bunches of 45-50 calves and then did 162 head on Friday. Still around 40-50 head to calve but they are dropping pretty regular so hopefully be pretty much done in a couple weeks.



Years ago we went to a calf table. Hard to schedule a crew around the weather and semi's(we haul pairs out to pasture...) so the table makes sense. That and I don't know many young guys who want to wrestle.

Nice to be able to brand up a load with just one phone call and 3-4 guys.


Last Friday.

I run the table, my dad brands and vaccinates while a couple of big 'kids' from the colony takes turns pushing 'em up to the table.

(I'm jealous of all your help!)
