[QUOTE="inyati13, post: 1174859, member: 17767"] Got her Friday night. What a long trip for Margo!!!! I met the hauler who is out of TN in Mayslick. Home of the Boyd Angus Operation. Hauler does a lot of runs in and out of a Marathon Station there that has a big lot for truckers. I backed up to his trailer and we moved Morgo onto a trailer that belongs to my neighbor. (First time in my life I have backed a trailer. Took me three tries and I was getting a little embarrassed but on the third try, out dear Lord guided me perfectly up against the back of his trailer. :D ). Anyway, got Margo "home on the range" and noticed she had a lot of mud on her. The guy had off-loaded her a few times and the night before must have put her in the mud. I gave her a pan of mixed feed while I got the hose and washed her off. We took to each other like a fish takes to water. I noticed something between her claws on the left front foot. I tried to pull it out but she picked it up real fast as they do when they don't want you messing with their feet. I got my long handled vise grips and reached in real quick and pulled it out. Got it! I washed between her toes real good to make sure she was not carrying some organism I didn't want. She drank a ton of water. I rubbed her down and brushed her. I want to keep her close for a week so I put her in the pen where I have two steers I am weaning. She kicked up her heels and ran around. It excited the two steers and they joined in. Fun to watch a big critter taking joy in such a small wonder as having a space. I love Margo. She is a nice frame size for my operation. She is bigger than Star, Blaze, Socks, and Tatum. But never going to be as big as the HP/RP cows or even some of the others. Fire Sweep Ranch, I think Margo likes the green hills of Robertson County Kentucky! Tell Rachel all is well for Margo!
