Monday when I was out for my noon walk, I came upon this scene in the cattle lot:
Do you see what I see? Heifers with their rear ends turned towards Mr. Bull, and Mr. Bull looking oh-so-interested.
Do you mind, I’m working here.
I also noticed that Mr. Bull was rubbing his head against the electric fence without any ill effect, so obviously there was something amiss. I mentioned it to Matt, but by the time he got home from work it was too late.
This is the aftermath. Mr. Bull crumpled that cattle panel. So before we spent 90 minutes chasing pigs, we’d already chased calves back to their own side of the fence. Fortunately they obey a little better than those pigs did.
Matt plugged the hole temporarily with cornstalk bales. They’ll have to eat their way through to get any action now.
I can’t help it if the babes love me.
Great post. Hey, that is the reason you keep him around.
Loved the pictures.
That cow rear looks familer…if is is the one ..she always was a wild child..;)
squire – you have a good point :)sandy – thanks. There wasn’t much I could do about the fence, so I just photographed the evidence instead!patti – now that the bigger calves are gone, she’s head of the pack and quite mouthy!
What a very handsome and naughty bull!Love the expressions on their faces, too.Sorry about the fence!
twinville – not the first fence he’s taken out, probably not the last 🙂
