Yesterday we had a couple of cows to get out. They got the side door on the old chicken house open somehow, started eating hay through it, and decided to climb over the bales and out the front of the barn. We led those back in with a bucket of feed....no problem. Then I go the the back field to feed those cows, and I see a black white face calf standing in the woods outside the fence. Looked like a steer I had in the other field, so I thought maybe it was an escapee that traveled through the chicken house. I spent an hour in the woods looking for it, only to have it jump the fence to get in with the cows while I was looking for it. Turned out to be a heifer, and not one of mine. Super nervous, and not wanting to go in the pen to be fed. I called my neighbor, and she is one of his. She got out several miles away, on the east side of the river. I'm hoping that I can get her penned up for him in the next few days.
Fughin cattle.
