Employee of the Month: Finley (who didn’t even know he applied)
Tonight’s round‑bale feeding was supposed to be routine, like we always do. One person in the skid steer, one cutting net wrap, gate held shut like always.
Except apparently the calves had other plans. One little troublemaker nudged the gate open and about ten of them took off sprinting into the barnyard.
We turned around to calf chaos - playing, frolicking and absolutely no interest in staying where they belonged.
Before we could even react, our 1‑year‑old German Shepherd, who has zero formal training and spends most of his days believing he’s a house dog, clocked in for an unexpected shift. He rounded up every calf and marched them right back through the open gate like he’s been running cattle drives since birth.
He absolutely received extra treats. And possibly a promotion. 😂
