Live Video of our Fall 2010 Calves

[chambero]

I've got our babies turned out of the show barn today to let them get some sun and get our barn dried out from all of our snow/ice.  So it's a good time to view them on our barn camera.

You can zoom in and move the camera around with the controls that come up.

If the calves cooperate and look toward the camera, you can read ear tags.  Here is what they all are:

4 Steer Yellow Jacket (yellow in color)
12 Steer Monopoly (black and white calf)
15 Steer Sunseeker (red baldy)
22 Steer Smooth Sailing (fuzzy black calf, brown tinge)
31 Steer Walks Alone (red fuzzy calf)
32 Steer Smooth Sailing (jet black fuzzy calf)
42 Steer Troubador (white steer)
48 Heifer About Time (outside pen on momma still)
50 Heifer Monopoly (outside pen on momma still)
53 Heifer Monopoly (black heifer)
59 Heifer Ree Heights (outside pen on momma still)
68 Heifer Troubador (white heifer)
71 Steer Dirty Harry (bigger black steer, not as much hair)

Moved them to a bigger pen where they are easier to see.

Great group of calves! It was really cool to be able to look at them like that, i've never heard of being able to do that.  (thumbsup)

How cool is that! I wonder if more than one viewer operate the camera at the same time?  The calves looked good but were laying down in the warm afternoon sun when I looked.  I will try again later in the day.  Thanks, Chambero, for sharing the window to your pens.  It would really come in handy when calving first calf heifers.

That's what we put it in for - calving out heifers.  We calve out about 50 every year.  I live around the corner on the north side of the small pasture you see in the background.

I've noticed the calves are being pretty lazy in the warm weather.

They are up and about when they get fed at 7 am and again from 5-7 when we're messing with them in the evening.

Camera works real well at night also.
