So things have been pretty rough this first week. 12-16 hour days. MILES of temporary electric fence. 50-70 mph ARCTIC winds. Almost daily breakouts. We had to round up over 1000 head of yearling heifers spread out across some 2000 acres each of my first few days on the job, then fix the fence and get it hot before they broke out again. They're basically wild cows, so they take some time getting trained to electric fence. We also had to trail a group of over 1500 yearling steers 8 miles because the road was too muddy for the cattle trucks. What a week! Lots more stories to come!
