Christmas Day on a Ranch

Here is how we spend our Christmas mornings on our ranch. Calves and cows get feed first before us or presents are opened. :-) And in case you missed how our Christmas Eve Day went I'll recap. 
Woke up this morning, looked out the window to see the dead cat my dog killed last night. Got threw with chores at home and went to feed the fall pairs at Larry's only to break the bale unroller, while Chris is feeding them with the tractor, I go check the creep feeder only to see one bull has a broken pecker!!! The creep feeder was also empty. :) All before 11 am. Merry Christmas on a ranch!!! 
Today was much better. I've included a picture of the broken pecker for those that haven't seen one.

This is Virginia - she is the heifer in our header. That header shot was taken in '07 after they had been weaned a month or two.

It's NOT suppose to look like that! Stupid bull only had 1 week left of breeding season.

sounds pretty typical of a holiday on a ranch, when you have all day to get things done things go smoothly. The day you would like to finish quickly and spend some time with family, go to town etc etc, problems show up!
