Just as dessert was finished after dinner we see this silver Toyota 4-runner coming down our 1000ft driveway. Guy says "Do you have cows"? "Yes" . "Well, there are about 10 over in the park". WHAT? Hubby comes in the house to tell me the good news. I hit the ground running for the feed buckets. Off we go, he in the truck down the road headed toward the city park. Me to the lawn tracker with the hay buggy attached, which is what I take a little feed on every morning to see my motley crue. I head toward the largest creek in our county. It runs north to south and is not only my eastern property line .It is also the line that divides the county and city in this area.
When I get there I walk the creek looking for the break in the fence and call for my herd. They hear me and bawl back heading my way. I end up walking across that creek....barefooted cause I had my new shoes on, all the while thinking about that HUGH snapping turtle we tossed back in after it came in the field just before hay cutting time. I wondered if he was still ill over the olympic diving we forced him to do. Hey, What about all the glass bottles I had seen floating down that creek over the years?
Well, I got across and and through all the heavy brush and bryers to walk straight onto a paved walkway amist bicycles, runners, speed walkers and my herd in the middle looking at me and eating grass. They followed me back into the "Forest", we went back across the creek and into the county together. It was like bringing home the prodical son(S).
I bet somebody thinks they had a sighting of the old world and are looking for my portal right now.
I will pay extra for grain ANYDAY to be able to catch 14 head of cattle and bring the back home in 45 minutes! We even beat the police. Our friend passed them, looking for the cows, as he was leaving the park.
This weekend I will be buying fence (hot wire) and making sure the ladies think twice about wanting to visit the city park again!
