[QUOTE="cow pollinater, post: 981362, member: 14661"] Just last month I re-learned why I keep to myself as much as possible. I let a couple of guys cut wood at the ranch because there's more down than I can use and they're not bright enough to know how poor they are. I was real specific about showing them my property lines and I was real specific about closing gates behind themselves as they were crossing the neighbors place to get to mine. Aperently, I wasn't specific enough about telling them to close gates after themselves on MY property. They left a gate open and a bunch of cattle got into the summer pasture that I'm letting rest for the winter and I spent a day kicking cattle back to the other pasture. I was nice about it and didn't tell them that they'd wasted a days work for me but I chewed on them some and told them that that gate needed to get shut before they left. They felt really bad so I figured it was done and let them come back to finish cutting. The next time they went up they did just what I'd told them, they shut that gate right before they left and were so proud of it that they called me to tell me... nevermind the fact that it stood open all day while they were in there cutting wood. :bang: The next morning I saddled a horse and headed up because I JUST KNEW... Sure enough, I had cows pacing the fence trying to get back to the calves they'd stashed the day before when they went out to graze. :( I can't be mad, they didn't do anything wrong on purpose and that makes them alot better than most people I try to help.
