shipping cows day 2

 Dean shipped his cows today and we went down to make a video of them (the video is to sell next years calves).
Josie yelled over and over, "Dad come get me, yet me ride Reggie". He never heard her because he was really far away but I'm pretty sure the guys sorting heifers were getting sick of hearing it. 
 Tirg Moo'ed at each calf that ran by him.
 That is the meanest brand inspector ever. I have actually never talked to him but he looks so scary. It weird that he walks with a cane because he was climbing fences all day.
 Waiting to load the heifers before they took the steers up.

 This year the cattle contractor brought his own portable scales so they didn't have to drive back and forth getting a light weight and a loaded weight on the semis.
 I'm not sure if this picture shows that Dean was working harder than that guy with his beating stick or just that he has more of a temper.
 there were 5 semis but they were never together

That red paddle stick is way too kind. The blue straight stick is much more satisfying. (hope no PETA type are stocking this blog. I guess I better be Anonymous.
