It was weaning week at our place. Everyone behaved very well until last night, when the cows decided the electric fence just wasn't enough to stop them, and all decided to make an end run around the yard and get to the calves from the other direction. Then they all stopped in the hay yard for a party, and forgot all about the calves. :roll: :roll: :roll: It was almost dark, and lucky for us, our neighbour drove by and saw them. We just got them back in the fence before it was too dark to see.
Anyway, four of them eluded us, I guess they were hiding somewhere, so this afternoon I went out to put them back in too. They went around the back of the stacks, and I went to get them, and for some reason looked down the very very very narrow space between two long stacks of round straw bales. Well, who was standing there wedged between the stacks about half way down was not one, but two cows! :shock: :shock: :shock: I'm so glad I looked down between those stacks! Of course, Hubby is off at the auction mart, so I get the honour of bailing them out.
I had to move 75 bales to get to those two cows, and then they just backed out, calmly walked off, and never even said thank you! :?
