Herd checks are very important for a number of reasons
1. Baby check, making sure all babies are present
2. Fence check, everyday things break so we like to walk the fence line and make sure the fencing and wire is all in working order
3. Forage check, making sure the grass is still available and deciding if its time to move the cattle again
4. Momma check, keeping an eye on everyone, whether they are a momma to be, a new mom, or a seasoned momma they all get the same checks
5. This is my favourite- bonding, for us its important that they see us everyday and are comfortable with us being around them. It sure makes life easier when you need to move them or treat them. We only keep the best, quiet cows in our herd for our own safety. Besides, who wouldnt want to cuddle some of these cuties š
