The Cows Are Out....again

Last night the cows were out.
 This was the third time in about a week that the cows had escaped. Twice because someone?left a gate open, and once because something spooked them and they ran through the electric fence.   I have always wondered why any animal on our farm would want to get out.  They have everything they need and are treated like the sacred cow. (ha!). But still every chance they get....they go!  : 0
 For tonights round up Em happened to be here to help create the wall of people to stop any cows from getting by.  A short ways behind them is the road. Ugh.  Did I mention when the cows get out alot of the time they head for the road??  And one would ask why?  There is NO grass there. So why go there?


Doug, Rachel and Dan were on the other side.  Sam missed out. He was running the rotary hoe at Uncle John's farm.( Lucky Sam. : ) )

Back inside the barn lot.

Cow herders.  (Dan worked so hard he lost his shirt! 

Not sure what Rach is pointing at. I was admiring her cow herding attire. : )

All the excitement wore Caleb out.  I found him later asleep on the couch.  : )
Last night s round up went pretty smoothly they hadn't gone very far and there were enough of us that they went in pretty quickly. No one had to actually run after any which is nice also. So it wasn't so bad.  We'll see what today brings. : )
