[QUOTE="skyline, post: 540358, member: 5305"] So I woke up yesterday morning and looked out the window at first light. The dogs were barking and I thought something was wrong. Sure enough, I had a front yard full of cows. Now this normally wouldn't be that big of a deal, but I don't have a good fence to my east and there is about 500 acres of timber and rough woods that I don't own over there. To the south is an open driveway gate that opens onto a busy county road with blind hills and curves. I think I had a little heart attack when I first looked out and saw them. But crisis was quickly averted. They all followed me in my boxers with a feed bucket right back through the panel that I had left unchained the night before. Turns out when I was fixing a water tank and loading my backrubber the night before, I forgot to rechain a panel that I had been through. Kicked myself several times as I was rechaining the panel, stepping through the cow manure on the way into the barn, and restacking all of the square bales under the pole barn that they played with the night before. I'm usually OCD when it comes to closing and latching gates that I go through. I'll check it, walk away, and recheck because I'm so blooming paranoid about the cows getting out. Not sure where my head was the night before. Anybody else have "cows got out" stories to share? [/QUOTE]
