I moved the cows today...

I spent about 4 hours moving the cows from one pasture to the other today. Most of the time was spent at the barn where I ran each of them through the headgate. I coaxed them in there with a little kelp meal (they love that stuff). But it still took about 3 hours to get all six of them to decide to walk into the headgate for a couple bites of snack. But they did it. And without any whooping, hollering, or hitting from me. I'm trying to train them that the headgate is not a bad thing so that when the time comes that I really do need to run them through it for some reason, it won't be a big deal. I think they enjoyed the experience.

Here they are in the other pasture.
