While we were out puttin out hay, I took a few pictures yesterday. It was such a perdy evenin.
This gal is known as "The escape artist" She gets out under the flood gate nearly every night. It's habitual.....and we've had about all we can stand of her. She's only about 5 years old...bred back to calve in the next month or so......raises a great calf.....but she can't stay. Her mama looked just like her...did the same things...and took the same ride a few years ago. So....today we penned cows and sorted her out. She's gonna take a short ride in a long trailer tomorrow!
One of our two "early calves"
An older Charlois cow that we've had a while.
Just cows.
This one has such a sweet face!!!
Pink sky's to the East as the sun went down in the West.
The next few are sunset shots.
Thru the corrals...
As we drove out the gate.
As we are about to pull into our gate at home.
Update on "The Escape Artist"
I'm so mad right now I can't hardly see strait. After we got her penned, we came home and loaded up a barrel to haul water out to her. Got out there and she had jumped three gates. Tore two brand new gates all to smitherenes, and is runnin around in the pasture again. So now, in the mornin at 7:30 I'm meetin one of our guys out there with the trailer and he's gonna rope her and load her in the pasture. Then I"m goin strait to the salebarn with her!!!!!!
......Mr Lilly would have preferred her takin a dirt nap. But at least we'll get somethin for her. Possibly enough to buy Lil Lilly a round pen. LOL we spoke too soon comin home after pennin her and told her, "Your round pen is in the lot".
Subtract $100 offa whatever we get for her.....and we'll still use the rest on the round pen. Cuz we gotta pay this feller to come rope her. I wish soooo bad that we'd loaded her up and hauled her in this evenin instead of leavin her there and plannin on loadin her tomorrow afternoon.
