Mr. Bull

I got home from school today, and as I was driving into the farm, I noticed that there was a cow out- or so what I thought was a cow.  I thought the guys were around the farm so I just left it and eventually they would notice.  I was wrong. 

I was talking on the phone with my mom and putting groceries away when I noticed Josie, our dog standing on a snow hill staring at the road.  So I looked out the window to see that "cow" sniffing the mailbox.  The "cow" started walking around and that is when I realized it was a BULL!  Now, I am not necessarily scared of bulls, but I have heard stories and I am just nervous that they will pin me to the ground or something! HA!

So I hang up with my mom and call Logan to ask him where he is at.  He says they are just finishing up at his dad's place working cattle.  I tell him he has a bull that is out, and he is like oh yea, we forgot to close the gate...OBVIOUSLY!! (What kind of cattle men are these people??!!)  So he asks me if I can go put the bull back in.  I told him uh are you kidding me?!! No, he definitely wasn't!  I told him that if I die it is all his fault! :)

So I walk outside, walk around the bull--giving myself lots of room incase he decided to charge me--and walked down the alley way to close a gate.  As I was walking down the alley way, the bull decided to go back into the lot.  So I quick walked over and closed the gate behind him to lock him in.  I am SUCH a good cattle girl!!!

Here is the little fella back in his pen.  He really likes me because he came right over to me for a picture!

I called Logan back to let him know which lot I had put him into so when they got back they would know.  I was just about ready to hang up when Logan asks me if I want to be a really good farm girl helper.  Um no, but sure..what do you need?  He asked if I could go out to the lots and check to see if there were any new calves.  So I walk out there and no new calves, but I did notice that Miss Pinkie was in the group to "calve soon!!"  So of course, I had to take her--pre miss pinkie baby picture!  Here she is!

I am hoping she has little pinkie on a day that I am around! :)

Farm Girl Tip # 70: If there is ever a bull that is hanging out in your yard sniffing your mailbox, you will be the one to put it back in.  Don't even try to put it in and he will go right in for you!  But when someone asks if you got him back in...tell them you worked really hard to get him back in the lots!
