The horses were easy to load with some hay in the nose of the trailer.

It was the bull who always gave us a hard time....especially when the neighbors cows were in heat. He didn’t care about hay at all!

We used to have cattle on two farms and used the same bull for both herds. He was good-natured for a bull and soon figured out that if the trailer showed up he could start thinking of that song “I got a brand new girl-friend ...”

Felt kind of bad when we loaded him for the last ride to the butcher’s.

He was very tasty.

yep - no problems that way.

On winter nights here in Colorado, my 4 come from pasture to the barn at the charge after one whistle. In summer, I have to go put the habeus grabbus on them or jump on the alpha and use her to mosey the other 3 along.

Thus I have come to the scientific conclusion that green grass causes temporary deafness in mares...
