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.

I weaned more calves today and hauled the cows home too. I think I walked 5 miles up and down hills in timber and brush, carrying a five gallon bucket of corn. The cows were all spread out it seemed, a bunch over here and another over there. Problem is you can't see them until you are right on them because of the brush. This pasture is impossible to ride a horse through, it sucks. So the only thing to do is walk and call the cows to you, then lead them with baits of corn all the way back to the barns and lots. There is one calf still out there, all he wanted to do was run and hide. I left his mother in the lot to give him incentive to come up. Dropped the last load of calves at home at 8 tonight in the dark. Started this project at 930 this morning. I'm tired.
