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

Hawthorn Ideas?

The hawthorn looks beautiful and full of fruit. Does anyone do anything with it or do you leave it for the birds?

Ok to burn?

What do y’all think, this wood has been in this for 4+ years, uncovered just like this. Think it’s ok to chop up and burn in a wood stove?

Spring Capture: Is this slightly oily film something to worry about?

I'm in the stage where I'm trying to wash out as much sediment as possible. The spring box sits on yellow clay, and I used that to naturally seal the gaps to limit chemical contamination. The pond stones I'm using had so much clay mashed into them, I hope that the film is part of that oily consistency that comes from clay-heavy water... but if someone sees something dangerous or concerning, please let me know!

My Silver Maple has a large scar on it. The limb is about 6in (~15cm) in diameter. Once winter sets in, is it safe for the tree to just remove the whole limb? Anything I need to do after removal?
