Escape Artists

Yesterday, Joe and I went over to look at the cows and to open up some more fences. Upon our arrival we found a totally destroyed poly-wire reel right in front of the gate. After the initial irritation we rolled up what remained of the reel and proceeded towards the cows. What we found was the other half of the reel clinging to a destroyed fence. Almost all the cows were out.

We spent the morning gathering up the cows, bringing them to water, and rebuilding some fence. Some days, it seems like no matter what we do, the cows always get out. Escape artists.

Today, Joe's nephew, his friend, and I went over the the KT and built some fence to get ahead for the week. Tomorrow afternoon I'll be running the farmer's market in downtown Hollister and won't have much time to spend with the cows. Also, Thursday is a delivery day in the Bay Area, so Joe and I will be making our rounds all day.
