The gang.

On Sunday we vaccinated, wormed and separated cattle. It was a beautiful day in the Mission Valley and it was wonderful that 3 generations of Schock’s were able to work together (Grandpa Walt; Father Greg; and kids Kris, Emily, Bryan and Kyle). Cousins Larry and Laurie catered us bbq’d hamburgers.

Juli keeps watch.

Juli is my 7 month-old Greater Swiss Mountain Dog. At first she was scared of the cows and barked at them (she lives in Chicago with me), but now she has finally gotten comfortable around them. After all, keeping watch over the farm and the cows is what she is bred to do in Switzerland.

Here are some photos that Emily took hunting pheasants in Western Montana on Saturday, December 12, 2009.

Emily hunkered down in the bunker.

Mmmmm. Dinner.

A frigid start in life.

Mooo.

Moooo.

These two calves were born on December 6, 2009. The low temperature for that day was 1° F. With the windchill it felt like -5° F when these little guys were born. Emily put them in this warming hutch immediately after they were born to get them warmed-up.
