[QUOTE="rockridgecattle, post: 549385, member: 6198"] okay so the father in law looks out his window and that herd we moved two days ago is having a rough start on summer pasture. There they were out on the hay land. As if the hay is not short enough due to a spring drought, exessive winds and cool weather. So on the bikes we go, to get them back in. They see us coming and head to the pasture....oooohhhh, they knew they were bad. But here they went and bust three good fences. 3 strand barb wire, bent over a 6" treated post. The fence was even hot!!! Here we find out from out neighbor there has been a big bear out around here...they got spooked. They bust 2 gates, and three fences. So now I have to go to work, father in law and neighbor stay at the fence, hubby brings me home to do my bus route, and get fencing suplies. He starts to head back out. Here we have 6 hives swarm on us. Now he has to go catch swarms. In they end we caught 6 swarms, two of them absconded from the hive, father in law fixed fence, neighbor (kid needing to make some cash) got a ride home from an egg customer who lives in the same area. but there is more to this blessed story. After we get the swarms settled we decide to have supper, a quick one cause we have to check and see if any animals got hurt from the bear. We stop at the father in laws and he tells us the cows are separated between the north and south quarter pastures.(they were to be in the south for a few weeks and then the north) So now we have to chase cattle back. We head out, and dang it if you would know it the two bulls bust a third gate. And they have only been there for two days. At this rate come September we will have repaired every inch of the good fence if this keeps up. As for the bear, hubby is keeping a gun with him, and natural resources is bringing a bear trap today. So much for putting hives on that quarter. :o [/QUOTE]
