Poppin' the gate and jumpin' the fence...

There's always something unexpected to take care of.

Tuesday...
Beautiful weather.
Pulled up Windy Hill and noticed too many heifers in the east pasture.  The double gate had been pushed open.  Not only were there visitors (that do not belong to me) in the east pasture, but my heifer beef calf was now in the west pasture!  Luckily all the dairy heifers are tame and can't resist the sound of feed being shaken around in a bucket.  They got back on their side quickly.  Getting the beef heifer back was another thing.   I had to halter my nurse cow and lead her into the west pasture and have the calf follow her back in (while keeping all the others in their normal pastures).  Took some extra time, but it worked like a charm.

Friday...
Beautiful weather.
Heard that the bull calf had jumped the fence. Sure enough, he had.  Didn't know if it would work, but we tried the same trick as before.  He's a heck of a lot bigger than the beef heifer, but apparently he's still a momma's boy, because it was even easier than before!

It's time for them to go on down the road.  Come on big money!  Baby needs some new shoes!  (and a new bull calf to put on that nurse cow!)
