Run Away Cow

Not much excitement around here today.  Joe came and helped milk and then did some more picking up for us.  Bruce had to move the heifers at the other place across the driveway  so Joe and Mike helped with that.  Bruce put up another fly strip and ordered a couple more.  We are pretty impressed with how they are working.  The only other excitement in the neighborhood is the run away cow.  Ed saw it last night and we now know it's a beef cow and she is living in our corn field, the one I posted a picture of a few days ago with the varied strips visible.  Bruce is a bit concerned given the fact that a single cow is capable of knocking down plenty of corn, and as expensive as it is we would prefer this not happen any more than absolutely necessary.  Today he called the trucker that lost the cow in the first place.  We are not sure who it belongs to at this point, the original farmer who shipped it, the trucker himself or someone's insurance company.  In any case we think it is odd that no one has contacted us or even been out looking for it.  Hopefully we will get some information tomorrow.

  1. I remember as a kid when my parents had to go get the cow(s) back in the fence. Enjoyed reading here at your blog this afternoon.

    I've been mildly obsessed with cows and dairy today.
