Timber tractor Tuesday...Part 2.

Another busy one today. Went with wee brother to collect 20 Angus x Saler heifers that we have bought. Hopefully they will do to bull and keep for cows. Unfortunately they are a wee bit excitable.
Our source of bulling heifers for the last few years has been Angus or limousin cross heifers out of friesian dairy cows. They are all bucket fed as calves ,and quite sociable. However they are not available to buy this year,so we have had to go else where. And as these were reared on their mothers,they are a wee bit wild as yet !
Went to collect vaccine from the vet at lunch time,then sorted them out this afternoon.
The shepherd in and out shutting ewes in any available sheds ready to shear tomorrow as it looked like it might rain.
Had to nip to Peeblesshire tonight to collect the passports for today's cattle. These are individual paper documents that are used to trace every movement of each beast from birth to death through out it's life,with all details being held on a national computer data base at Workington in Cumbria.
Tonight's tractor blip is of this Cat the timber boys are using to shift the trees, and pile up the brush wood ready for burning .
