This week was the week I have been waiting for, the week we finally got to work our cattle. Monday and Tuesday we spent moving the herds into the pastures closest to the working pens so they would not have as far to go. Wednesday and Thursday were the days we actually did the cattle work. Ryan has some “real” cowboys that he hires when working the cows. They brought their horses and dogs which made it a lot easier to move the herd into the pasture where we were working. Everything went pretty smoothly and overall it was a great experience.

We have been attempting to plant wheat every day this week before the rain that is expected on Friday.  The first couple of days we spent trying to figure out the correct depth in which to plant the seed. As soon as we would get going though the ground would be just a little too wet for planting. By the end of the week though the ground had dried up enough that we managed to get most of the field planted with winter wheat.

This week on the farm we had some cattle get out into the wrong pasture. I spent most of the day on Wednesday trying to drive them back where they were supposed to be. By the end of the day, I managed to get the herd moved back into the correct pasture. The rest of the week was spent doing various chores such as feeding hay, shredding grass in the pastures, and fixing fence.
