[QUOTE="JMJ Farms, post: 1520886, member: 24583"] This is a 100% true story. 1) I try to keep real good fences even on my rented farms. 2) I keep my cows well fed. 3) I rarely get more than 30 miles from home. Anyone know where this is going? I promised my kids that if they kept their grades above 85 for the entire school year that I would take them on vacation and actually stay with them for an entire week. I usually can’t go and if I do it’s only for one night. Well they done their part. So we strike out this past Wednesday. 5 hours away. Got a call about an hour ago from a friend. Rode by a rented farm. There was a momma cow walking in the ditch. Long story short. She pushed against the barbed wire while eating through it and broke it. Then proceeded into the hayfield. Needless to say gonna have to stretch some new wire on that 500’ section. Landlord put her back in and is gonna patch the fence for me. He will get a steak for each of his family for his trouble. Point is I haven’t had a single cow out in the last 3 years except for one other time, and that was bc a tree fell on it. You guessed it. I was 5 hours away then too. It never ceases to amaze me how that works. I guess it Murphy’s Law. [/QUOTE]
