AI time

I am so glad the 10 days we AI on the Whitaker Ranch have come to an end!  2 weeks ago Wednesday was the last of it, then the bulls went out!  Jenae looks forward to getting to spend a lot of time in the saddle when Chip AIs.  It usually takes the whole family to get the job done.  Marilyn & I are usually in charge of the little ones while Kyle, Hope, Chip & Jenae ride to gather up the cows/heifers.  Ben & Kyle are the chute help & Chip does the artificial insemination.  There are a lot of late nights during the 10 days & think everyone is happy when it comes to an end, but it seems to be worth the extra work in the fall when it comes time to sell the calves :-)
