[QUOTE="3waycross, post: 838039, member: 6713"] Worked my dayjob for 10 hrs yesterday and then had to haul my cows to summer pasture. My buddy says don't worry I will get them down to the lower corral so we can run them thru the chute and vaccinate for footrot before we load out. Well we had em all vacc'd and loaded and on the road by 5:30pm and headed up the road 15 miles. got there and I sent my buddy and his wife home while I went in and signed the lease. drove off thinking I was in tall cotton till my phone rings and it's my buddy telling me that he musta missed one of my calves sleeping in the hay barn so I need to get him and haul him back. Well I knew I shoulda haltered him and led him down to the cowherd cuz you could'nt see them from the gate but I figured I might just get lucky and he would run straight downhill after I let him out of the trailer................found out I ain't very lucky, the cows were 100yds south of the gate out of sight behind some willows, and he comes out hell bent for leather runs 20 feet south , takes an 90 degree left turn and blows right thru the fence and the last I saw of him he disapering over a hill 200yds west of my pasture. Figured no point in scaring him worse so I packed up and headed home. The neighbor called at 7 this morning to tell me he saw the calf run right back thru the fence to his momma and start sucking.........Wheeeew am I sick of cows at this point. [/QUOTE]
