Loose cattle this morning
So it happened… the property behind us has been logging that land. I was feeding hay and noticed Moo our steer wasn’t there. I look out and see him hundreds of yards away on that timber land. Moo wanted the leaves on the trees over there and busted a hole in the fence. So I had to bring him back (and fix the fence of course). At least he was the only one to escape.
Nothing like fetching loose cattle. Can’t say I’ve ever done it before and don’t want to do it again.
Lessons learned:
Cattle want food and will follow you for it
Cattle are large and will not do anything they don’t want to
Cattle can’t jump even though they try - so I guess you can say they do: but not well
Check the fence a bit more frequently
