A storm came through Wednesday evening. Lots of lightening and wind. Yesterday, about 1pm, I took the utility vehicle to the back of the farm.
On the line fence between me and Tom, three Red Oak trees were on the ground. The picture does not do it justice. All three of these trees are decent sawlogs. There is an old logging road on Tom's side of the fence. The trees fell parallel to the road. Two went south and one went north. The crown on the one that went north took out 3 sections of fence.
I sawed the crown up and put five strands of wire up before sundown. The posts were fine.
Got to looking at my cows and immediately noticed a skinny brown heifer about 15 months old. She is in poor condition. I assumed that she came in while the fence was down. But the guy who had cows on Tom, moved during the summer over a dispute with Tom. I concluded the heifer was left and wintered back there.
Last night, I called Tom and my neighbor, Johnny. Both have the same idea. She was left behind. I would like to get her to the front of the farm. Give her Ivomec injection. A Clostridial vaccination and pour her for live, ticks and flies.
