Calves in Corral Entertain Undisturbed Herd

Inside a corral, several hundred calves bawl without pause while their mothers wait outside the fence and call out. A heavy headed bull watches, indifferent, resembling a detached father figure.

The corral calves go through branding and tagging before slaughter

Within that corral the horns are removed and caustic applied to prevent resprouting. Each animal is branded on hip and shoulder and vaccinated with extra treatment for bull calves. They are sad animals but their educational troubles end once they meet the butchers, a painless encounter.

Ranch vaccination saves calves from long disease

A. F. Parks, manager of the big ranch, says vaccination does not hurt calves much and prevents long suffering. He notes calves would bawl anyway, simply afraid to be caught, but the dipping and vaccination save them from persistent ticks and potential death in the long run.
