[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1401675, member: 25884"] Had one disappear from a group of weaned heifers from a pasture where we would run them for the summer. No cattle on other sides so a good place to put heifers we didn't want to get bred. The power co was replacing the old towers and putting up new ones and had done alot of clearing and building roads etc. There was over 1,000 acres of land that had some trails and such for the local foxhound club to also ride horses on. This heifer was seen a couple of times and was wild as a deer. Tried twice to get her back and she would just dive into the brush and disappear again. Then nothing. Figured she died or wound up somewhere. The couple of farmers that had cattle in the area knew about her and they were all good about our stuff getting on them and their stuff getting on us so we just wrote her off. The following year one called us and said they had a heifer in with their bulls and had put her in the barn, thought she was ours. She went through the window of the barn and was back out with the bulls. So I said that I would bring the trailer and as soon as they ran them in the barn and let the bulls out we loaded her on the trailer. It was mine, and I had already decided that she would go to the stockyards the next friday to the sale. In 3 days, she was coming in the barn with the smaller calves we had on feed, and she was checked preg so decided to take a chance and see if she would settle down. She had her 3rd calf and is one of the first in the barn/catch pen. Don't know why she had gone so rogue, but has settled down to be a good cow. I wouldn't have given you 10 cents to her staying in long enough to go to the sale...... [/QUOTE]
