These are last springs calves, now called yearlings. They have been in a feedyard since being weaned from the cow in November. The feedyard provided food in a bunk where it was always available, water in tanks that did not freeze over and protection from winter blizzards--life was good! None the less today they returned to the the ranch where the grass has became green and there is even more room to roam and play--life is better. The heifers will become cows in the herd and the steers will return to the feedyard in August to enjoy a few more months of lesiure.
