[QUOTE="Wisteria Farms, post: 515750, member: 6734"] Well, here goes. We decide to try our hand at cattle and get a heifer and steer. Brother next door can't be left out of the fun and decides to do the same. We were told these were WEANED calves. They weren't. Brother's being the first off the trailer got put straight into the barn. Ours however got let out into the pasture where they proceeded to go straight through the fence. (Not joking, they weren't in my pasture 5 minutes) We spend ALL DAY chasing these things and finally get them corraled at a neighbors (in the midst of this husband decides to play cowboy, hop on his paint horse who's never seen a cow and chase calves who've never seen a horse!). By nightfall we're exhausted but we put the unweaned calves in to a small, secured paddock. Next a.m. brother calls as soon as the sun is up...HIS cattle have busted out of the barn only he has NO IDEA which way they went or how long they'd been gone. Off we go for another day of hunting. We look EVERYWHERE... no calves. At the end of the day I'm thinking "PISSS on it...I'm DONE" and I lay up on the kid's trampoline pretty much mad at the world. Pretty soon here comes brother's heifer walking across the yard bawling like crazy. She's lucky I didn't have a gun in my hand or we'd had steak for dinner!! Found his steer mixed in with neighbors cattle (don't know how he got in). It all worked out but the only thing that made me feel any better was hearing I wasn't the only one. [/QUOTE]
