Playing cowboy

We got the cows tagged a couple weekends ago (yes I know, bad blogger!)  We're not really set up for doing something like that, no chutes, no headgate, etc but we managed to redneck it together.  J&L, the people that owned our place before us, had set up the arena so that J could practice roping.
So we herded our little herd out of their pen and across the alley to the pen that opens to the arena.

From there we set up corral panels to squeeze them down the 'chute' between the arena and slab fence.  We used a couple boards and a makeshift door to hold them in place as one at a time we checked them, gave them their shots & dewormer and tagged them with purple numbered ear tags.

Hera looks like she's helping here but she's just wondering what the cows are doing in this pen lol

Now that they're all numbered we can identify which cow is which, I've always known that this heifer is my Tasty because of her torn ear.

We decided that heifers 2 & 3 are mine and 4 & 5 are Mom & B's (stepdad)  That would make this little girl my second heifer, whom I've named May Belle.  I can identify her at a glance now too, her right horn is a little stubby and blunt. 
That's Chuck the steer hiding behind her.  Of the 5 he's the only one without horns, go figure lol.  We gave him the #1 tag.

Mom named their heifers Belle and Flossy, however I don't know which number goes with which name and I can't easily tell them apart without seeing their numbers so I just call them BOTH Flossy Belle lol
