Saying Goodbye... Selling the Cows! Why? Full Roundup Sorting and More!

What happens here

The farmer closes the gate of the working pen, securing the cattle inside. He then identifies a baby calf that needs to be separated from its mother. He attempts to guide the calf through a small opening under a gate, then pushes the calf through by hand. He then puts down a bale of hay inside the working pen, to encourage cattle to enter the chute. He gently herds the calves and mothers, explaining that young calves can be jumpy and need calm handling. The goal is to get the young bulls into the sweep chute system for processing. He emphasizes the importance of minimizing stress on the cattle during this process.

Goal: Safely guide all cattle into the initial holding pen and then into the sweep chute.
