[QUOTE="jasonnododge, post: 61960, member: 993"] I'm glad to see that a large percentage of you have had trouble with cattle escaping. I know there is nothing worse than hearing my cell phone ring, looking at the caller ID and seeing Incoming call, I've seen this message so many times I know its usually the State police telling me my cows are out playing on the interstate. It has been about two years since we had any out but the local officer who patrols this area has my number in his phone. We have a healthy deer population and an equally healthy drunk driving problem on the highway that lies next to my pasture. The cars will drive through the fence during the night and before I can patch the hole, I get the call that two of my 150lb hereford calves are playing in the median of the Interstate. Has anyone else had to carry their calves across a three lane highway? It's not that much fun. Several years back the pasture behind our house was rented by a man who ran Holstein dry cows and a bull on the 30 acres of woods and grass. They all got out one night, we managed to round up about 10 of the 18. Over the next four weeks we caught three more, by October 1 (opening day of bow season) I had been given the go ahead to whack any of them given the chance. I had one dance around in the cornfield at about fifty yards but never got a shot off. We managed to catch the rest of the group about a week later, four miles from their pasture. Keeping cattle near highways and suburbia is a challenging thing. Jason [/QUOTE]
