Then this guy walked through this morning.
8 point, taken with a Marlin 30-30

I often omit the firearm in my edc posts, so as not to continually doxx my gun, but the fact is, I'm always armed.
This week, I'm running five rounds of .357 Magnum

Called the cows up to the corral, sorted off the calves, dewormed, banded the bulls.
A couple of the heifers will stay on the farm for breeding. About 5 of the steers will be kept for butchering, and the rest will go to the sale barn in about 4 weeks to make the farm some fiat for the year.
