Last week I took the four wheeler down to the back pasture to look at the fence line. Years ago when my previous husband Chuck was in the hospital, I had five cows that went missing. I checked with the neighbors and was told that if the cows were at their place longer than 3 months they would already have taken them to the sale barn. I understood and counted it a loss. Recently, I spoke to the grandson in law of the property owner and he informed me that I had many cows over on his in-laws place and he would be more than happy for me to come get them. It sounds like there are many of my cows over there. They have been multiplying. Go figure.
I asked him if he could let me get the fence line put back together to make sure they don’t get out again. He said that would be fine.
I took the four wheeler out last weekend and it just stopped in the middle of my ride. Today I asked Julio to come over and help me get it back to the front of the property. He is a great help. He put a chain on my Cub Cadet mower and pulled the four wheeler back to the front of the property. He looked up the code that was showing and determined that the crank shaft pressure sensor was acting up. It is still having issues but now I know how to make it go.
I noticed the cows were up in the coral. Turns out they had locked themselves in the pin. I undid the gate and they went back into the field. The bull that was with the girls is one that I did not recognize. I guess it is one of the five that escaped a few years back. Cupcake was not with the group so I guess he is next door.
I was able to ride the four wheeler back down to the back pasture with Julio and we decided what issues need to be worked on. I am excited to get the full herd back together again. I am also excited that I do not have to check those fence lines on foot.
Here is a picture of Hershey. She is happy and settled in the back pasture.
I am headed back to the house.
Peace out and Jesus loves you.
