Moovin' heifers

When the calves in the big calf barn get big enough, they are mooved over to the heifer barn which is on the other side of the milking barn. So they open the gate to the big calves and run them through the milking barn, out the side door, and across to the other end of the heifer barn. The heifer barn is divided into sections and as the heifers get older and bigger they are mooved up a section until they are old enough to go over to the freshening barn. These animals have ear tag numbers to keep track of who they are and how old they are so you know who to moove. It's quite a job! Proverbs 27:23 "Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and look well to thy herds." Here is a video of my farmer "looking well to thy herds." Pause the music on the right.
