aww early Sunday morning

6 this morning could hear coyote howling close, well there a dead ewe below the house in a pasture, thought they might be on her. Nope saw the guard dog heading back to the barnyard and her ewes. But also saw all the neighbors cows stung out thru my meadows. Could hear bull bellowing in the middle of the night. Got the neighbors black cows and 2 bull back in his river pasture (he had a cow bulling), along with my bull.
We started fixing fence, seem the 3 bull tore out about 100 yards, broken posts and twisted wire. My bull came back chased him back to my upper creek pasture and fixed that fence, my hereford and black bally cows had stayed in.

A bull could tear up an anvil. There is sure some merit to Soapweeds policy of not wintering bulls over.

Yesterday I was quite agreeable to that. We don't have our truck for a couple more days so I figured I could just trail our oldest bull 2 miles from home down over the hills to the girls. About the time we got across the road from the house and doing good heading east, a group of red cows we have north of the house saw him and came running towards the road bawling and carrying on. After that it was all downhill. My Kawasaki Mule is barely fast enough to outrun a bovine at the best of times, but when we're in pasture that's waist deep and muddy it kept spinning, had to put it in 4x4, then it doesn't turn sharp, and that old bull made me look silly. Probably should have started off with a horse but he's so quiet and easy to handle - usually - I didn't think it'd take much to move him. He proved me wrong and ran back to the road, right into the yard to the pen we started from. He's at least respectful about whoopin my @$$. :lol:

Got a neighbor he and his son can tear an anvil apart with a feather.
Bull & rams be nice if the bull were gone 10 months and the rams 11 months each year...
