So there I was today, me and my buddy Larry decided to build a rain shelter for when it starts raining here again in a week or so. Joan, (the heifer) was in the pen with us, and Larry asked me if we might want to secure the gate, (it was just closed, not chained). Naw, I responsed, she has never bumped a gate open.
Of course, you know what happened next. Joan decided to make a jail brake, and we spend the next 15 minutes coaxing her back into the large pasture.
Well, after getting the rain shelter done, mucking out the pen, etc, tried to get Joan back in the Pen. No such luck, she didn't want to go back to jail, I guess. Alfalfa cubes, COB, neither worked.
So, she is out with the herd tonight, (will probably calve tonight, my luck).
Either way, will try to get her back in tomorrow. Here is a picture of Joan...
More tomorrow...
