Terry and I were oiling the top of the snowmachine trailer
when I happened to look over by the canal and saw a cow meandering happily down the fence in the other field!
Terry took off down the long lane and shut the gate to our road, and opened the gate between our place and the other place.
Being a young cow— first-year heifer—she thought about throwing a wee fit, but also being very pregnant she decided running with a huge weight in her middle was just not going to happen she walked down the long lane until she got to our yard.
Then deciding NO ONE WAS GOING TO TELL HER WHAT TO DO….she crossed the dry canal, ran onto my lawn, ran to the corner of the yard and neatly jumped the electric fence, not even touching a hoof to the wire.
Next step for us was to find out where she jumped out and fix the fence there.
Our neighbors, next door, are big farmers and just finishing up the last of their corn.
Boomer and I helped.
Later we all took a small walk as the sun went down.
Your friend on a western Colorado farm,
