The new and improved Good Morning thread!

I got a call from a neighbor this morning at 645 saying I had calves on the road a half mile away. He was right. The second problem was that I had weaned those calves Sunday, they were going back to their mama's, I now have to wean them again. Something scared those calves last night. They tore down and bent a heavy gate, broke wires, and bent gate pins to get out. 4 to 5 hundred pound quiet calves don't do that on a whim. I put bulls in that lot quite often, and bulls destroy shit just to destroy it. But I've never had one get out of that lot. It's got me wondering what the hell happened. It's funny though that the other calves in that lot that had been weaned a week or so earlier were all there, right outside and followed me back in with a bucket of grain.

Your stories are great. Things i have never experienced or known to take place. As I stated before, pops was an Iowa farmer until he joined the Marine Corps and they sent him west where he met mom, the California girl.

They returned to Iowa after the Korean War but i’m guessing mom didn’t like the cold winters so they returned to Cali. If not, i could have easily ended up an Iowa farmer 🤷‍♂️
