I had to go to town to the MVD this morning, I've been there a minute waiting and got a pic from Susan of the bull in our neighbor's pasture. Oh s**t, I'll be back when I'm done and we'll get him. A little later a pic of her horses ears and he's sorted and lined out, hell yeah cowgirl, I'm headed to Murn's and getting lunch! Sat at the table of knowledge and got a picture of him going thru the gate, and told Susan we're cheering you on woo-hoo. She sent back, tell the table of knowledge, especially if Clays there, we have fence to fix HAHAHA!
For some reason fb won't let me share Susan Boyd's post: I was horseback today riding our fence, had all my dogs with me, and I rode up on a black bull in with our neighbors Herefords on the other side of our fence. I thought to myself, I hope that's my other neighbor's black bull in there, and not one of ours. Nope, it was ours, Dang! I thought about riding back home and leaving some dogs and just taking a couple with me but I was worried I wouldn't see him again. So, I decided to try and gather him out of a bunch of trotty Herefords, by myself in the thick mesquite with all my dogs who are going to want to help. As I've always said, ranch cattle are not like gentle farm or trial cattle. These Herefords fight off Coyotes and leave when they see you on a horse. I went back to the closest gate between us, told my dogs to stay behind me, and off we went. Sorting one bull out of a bunch of cows is not easy but the dogs listened to me and I got him sorted off and headed towards the pens a mile or so away. He fought us a lot and tried to go back to all the Herefords along the way but we got him penned and back in with ours. I was thankful I work with my dogs, staying back and out of the way of my horse, and also them working like another person horseback, once I got him sorted off. If they had tried to fetch them all back to me it would have been a nightmare and wouldn't have got done. A good day!
