Soooo - great you caught her, determination and patience pays off - but - you let her out of the trailer with the rest??? Will you be able to load her onto the trailer again?
Did you try roping her?Reminds me of my x wife. She was pretty good looking and that was one reason i would always decide to over look her bad disposition too.
Finally wised up and learned there were too many good women out their to keep a crazy one like I had. One of the best decisions I have ever made.
I would highly recommend to not hang onto ill tempered women or cattle. They are both easily replaced.
The cow or the Ex wife?Did you try roping her?
It won't work twice.I think there might be another chapter or two to write yet on this now more 'wise' cow, i look forward to updates.
There won't be no problem catching it now. That divided 20 acres with working pen is where i winter them at. I will be running them through vaccinating and worming them as soon i get time.I think there might be another chapter or two to write yet on this now more 'wise' cow, i look forward to updates.
It is difficult when you are that person. The one with the answers, the back, the muscles, the experience and the drive to do it all.I am getting tired of having to take care of things all of the time. Don't mind working at all but, don't like being rushed.
You couldn't be more right about all of that. You pretty well summed it all up.It is difficult when you are that person. The one with the answers, the back, the muscles, the experience and the drive to do it all.
Even more so if you happen to be that person for the extended family.
Been there and done it and I told my wife a year ago, I wanted to be someone else for awhile.
Good onya buying that dump truck, I know you have been keeping an eye out for one for a while, I'd love to see photos of it when you get sorted. I know how you feel, my life is a bit like that at the moment.There won't be no problem catching it now. That divided 20 acres with working pen is where i winter them at. I will be running them through vaccinating and worming them as soon i get time.
I have been catching her in that pen ever since she was a calf. I could catch her and have her at the sale barn by 9 a.m in the morning if i wanted too.
But I am not in no hurry now that I have her to where i can catch her. I want to do a little research as to when i can get the best price for her. She is going to the sale before i move them back to summer pasture.
I am going to take a little break from things now that I can. For the last several weeks I have had one thing after another that had to be done that couldn't wait. Drilled 40 acres of wheat, used a leased drill that I had rented for two days that had to be done right then. Had to replace the floor in my stock trailer that had to be replaced before i moved cattle in for the winter, then the wife ended up in the hospital for 7 days. I was working my regular job, feeding her horse's and our pets after I would get off work, then stay all night at the hospital. Then set up a catch pen so that I could move cows back for the winter. Then move them back. That all had to be done by a certain time.
On top of that I had made plans to go to a auction to buy a dump truck. Had put in for 3 days vacation in order to go to that. Had been waiting all year to go to it. When the wife ended up in the hospital i didn't think I was going to be going to the auction but, she was released 1 week prior to the auction.
Had a friend who is a desil mechanic that was going to go with me to help inspect potential trucks before auction day. And was going to drive a truck back if i bought one.
But because of spending all week at the hospital I hadn't talked to him to let him know wether or not I was still going to the auction. So two days before i decided to go he couldn't get off work to go.
So i ended up going to the auction by myself. Did buy a dump truck. Left my personal truck at the auction yard. Drove the dump truck 140 miles home. My wife who had just got out of the hospital a week earlier drove me the 140 miles back so I could get my personal truck and bring it home.
On top of all of that I was spending every spare minute I had trying to catch that crazy cow.
But now I don't have anything that just has to be done immediately like taking that cow to the sale in the morning.
Yes she is going to be sold sometime soon. But it's not that pressing or something that has to be done right away.
I have an appointment with a Neuro surgeons physician on the 19th to go over the results of an MRI that I had done a while back to determine if he thinks I need back surgery. So i guess that's my next pressing thing of importance that I have to do.
I am getting tired of having to take care of things all of the time. Don't mind working at all but, don't like being rushed.
