Doo dee doo dee doo....
Just waiting for happy happy pictures!
I'm a go whistle over there in the corner for a while I guess.
Boy, you're as impatient as I am! But good timing, because SHE'S ON THE TRAILER NOW! Yippeee! I just heard from my friend down in Arkansas, and she said Molly had earned her "redhead" badge and then some! She managed to break through a weak spot in the fence when they were trying to drive her to the chute/alley and ended up in the back forty, but being a true chowhound, she came right back when they shook the pellet can. Apparently there were a few more dramatic scenes in the alleyway, but eventually the hauler (she's young and spry) got behind her and yelled and smacked her in the butt and she hopped up inside. YAY!
Once here, the trailer can back right up to the cow barn. We'll have to unload her into the hay room, but I suppose if we're behind her, whooping and hollering, she'll run between the stacks and through into "her" half of the barn, which is all prepared with fresh stall bedding, a cleaned and filled trough, and fresh hay in the feeder. Because it will be dark, or mostly dark, when she gets here, she'll have to spend the first night inside, but I'll let her out into the attached pen the next morning and see how she is. If she's settled down enough, I'll go ahead and open the gate to the pasture so she can have the run of the place and do all her exploring. And meet the gelding, of course. I hope she likes him.
If she's NOT settled down the next morning, then I'll keep her in the barn/pen area for a day or two more. She'll still be able to see everything from the pen, but I sure don't want her running full-tilt into a downed tree or one of those awful, thorny plum trees. And when I get pics, I'll post them.
It would be more plausible for the Pope to become a Mason than for a true Angus to have horns.<That is a period
A true homozygous polled Angus, you mean. That's why I started this thread, because I thought ALL Angus were polled, but I have learned otherwise.
