Guess it was my turn for "one of those days"

[Travis B.]

It started when I woke up at 6:30 this morning didn't end until about 9:30 tonight. I woke up and found a 19 month old heifer(accidentally bred) tryin to have a calf. Took an hour to pull it, because it weighed close to 100 pounds the heifer was small. Both are doin okay tonight. I then went to football from 8:00 until 12:00 which was actually ok. Went home ate lunch and started mowin the lawn, but run out of gas and had to go to town(11 miles round trip) to get more, then wrapped some twine around the blades and had to cut it off. Then we went to haul some calves to the sale barn and I got kicked in the stomach loadin them(got a big scratch and a bruise), had a flat on the trailer comin back. We got back and went by one of the pastures and saw cows runnin like crazy with a horse behind them(our cows have never seen horses), turned out to be the neighbor(not the best) trespassing to get a calf out. Told the neighbor I would meet them tomorrow to get the calf out, and asked him not to ride on my property anymore. He said ok and went back to his house. We checked the fence and were pullin out when the guy's dad did something i'm not gonna say, so we went to talk to him. He said the kid told him that we chewed him out bad, even though we didn't. However he believed us and is settled tonight(maybe another story tomorrow) We finally got in and fed pigs at 9:00, in the dark. Hope noone has a bad day like this even though they are bound to happen. Guess it's all part of farmin and ranchin.

[Travis B.]

It really is normal, but usually it doesn't all happen on one day. Usually just a few things here and there.

Sounds like one of those days,you should have just stayed in bed.

That validates and argument I have had for a long time.

Nothing ever good comes from mowing the lawn.

I had this happen about 9 yrs ago in the woods pasture. the cows haven't like staying in that pasture since. They won't graze it well. They eat just enough to come back to the gate and hang around. And most of them have been born since that time so how do they know????

Travis B....there's bad days, and there's bad days...and then there's days like your's. On a scale of 1-10, 10 being the baddest of the bad, I'd say you hit about 25. Bless your heart.

Bad karma?

Awhile back I thought that I'd kill two birds with one stone and let a few small steers out to take care of the grass along the drive and yard...
Didn't know cows like roses.
Susie set a new standard when it comes to future trimmings...took some work to convince her that the manure was good for the bushes...jury still out on that one.
Always something to give a fella a reason to get up in the morning..
