Christmas Day at Soaring Eagle

Christmas Day at Soaring Eagle in many ways is just like every other day.  Since it feel on a Sunday this year, it meant that there weren't a ton of scheduled chores needing to be done and for me the day went from 4 am - 10:30 am.  Just enough morning left to clean up and get to Christmas Dinner!!

Here are some videos of what Brittany and I were taking care of this morning.  This first video shows us cleaning the dry cow pen.  We clean the beds, scrape the alleys and then sort out any of the moms we think will have their calves in the next day or two.

Here's an up close look at the two moms delivering calves this morning. 

Two Christmas bull calves were born during our shift.

Merry Christmas Everyone!! Enjoy the holidays with family and friends and God Bless all for 2012!!
