It's that time of year once again. Time to separate the momma's from the babies (otherwise known as "weaning"), select next year's heifers and decide whom is going to be sold and kept. Normally, as one can imagine the mothers and babies are not happy with this transition, and can make what should be a day's worth of work into two. It's always a family affair and it's heartwarming to see the next generation step in and help.
