ROUNDUP - WEANING AND SHIPPING

This post is about when the cattle are taken to the old 7L ranch corrals close to the Monte Kent cowcamp where the calves are separated from the cows.  Then the calves are separated with heifers going in one pen and the steers going in another.  The heifers are trucked to the ranch and the steers to a feedlot.
