Too wet to make hay these days so made the journey into the wilderness to see if I could find some cattle. Here are some of the sights.
Grass seems to be holding up pretty well so far, and the ponds remain quite full. As frustrating as it is to try to put up hay in a year like this, it sure is nice for the grazing.
This deal below was an unhappy thing to see. I will have to make some phone calls today to the seismic company to inform them that they are the proud owners of a steer calf because of their lack of attention to detail in backfilling their shot holes.
This calf has an obviously broken stifle. His head has been removed, and he has been dragged off a ways but has not been fed upon.
The scene of the crime. Calf in the background. Originally he had been laying in the churned up area to the upper left. Probably been moved to the new spot within the day.
Closer shot of the shot hole and evidence of a struggle.
The culprit up close, there is a calf track in the bottom of the hole.
A well tied gate. Not a handy way to do things if doing things from horse back is a must, but a very good and simple way to tie a gate. I think all hunters and city folks should learn this simple trick.
A simple mechanism that even our city friends can figure out more often than not
