It's ok little cow

Boy oh boy....when I told Steve I would help him band calves, I had no idea what was involved! My job was to hold down their head.  For anyone thinking about trying this for the first time...it is not as easy as Steve has made it look in the past!  I was trying (trying being the key word) to hold his head down, pat his neck, and soothe the little calf by talking to it.  Let me just say HE WANTED NO PART OF ME!  Poor little babies.  I think next time, I will conveniently find something to do elsewhere on banding day.
