So often we see a problem on the farm and it seems we decide it can 'wait' to be fixed. That really is a bad attitude to have and it really is not being a good steward of the property. And as things go, we all know that the animal will discover the hole in the fence at a REALLY bad time!
That is exactly what happened last night. The boys and I were at a 4-H function having a grand time. When we arrived back home, we had two messages on our machine from the neighbor telling us two of our cows were on the road. Of course, my husband is out of town on business. This is how it ALWAYS happens!
So the boys and I located the cows. Then we lowered the fence and with lots of good encouragement, the cows returned to the correct side of the fence. Next we located "T" posts...and the neighbors came...then we fixed the fence like it should have been several months ago...and then two hours later, the boys and I ate a small dinner before retiring for bed.
