It was one of those days again when I pulled into the yard and noticed something (or someone!) that wasn’t supposed to be there. And guess who it was?
Well if you guessed Giggles – you are the winner!! Yup, Giggles was just kind of hanging out by the cattle yard and the only difference from the last time that he did this was no cattle were mooing. I guess they think that first time shame on us, second time shame on you. OK, maybe they just didn’t care because Giggles was so much older. But whatever the case may be – he was out!
But getting him in is pretty easy. All you have to do is to keep the other cattle from following you and then you open the gate. And if you’re wondering how to keep the cattle from following you, it’s as easy as giving them corn for the night. Once you do this – well all you do is open the gate and tell Giggles to get back in. He’ll look at you and then walk like he hasn’t done anything wrong and that’s that. Seriously I don’t really care as long as he stays close and will go back in.
Notice who is on the wrong side of the fence?
I remember a couple of years ago the cattle got out and were walking on the road by our farm. All I had to do was to tell them to come home girls and soon we had a parade in our yard with me leading the pack. You know as I’m writing this is sounds a little crazy doesn’t it? Too funny!
Well when Daryl got home from work tonight he went straight out and wanted to haul manure from the cattle yard. It’s been such nice weather lately and before he could even get started tonight he had to see if the fields were too ‘greasy’. They would be OK for tonight so he worked until dark to get as many loads hauled as he could get.

I took the photo of the day when I was getting some corn for the cattle. I had my camera with me after I took a picture of Giggles and so I snapped this one quick. It’s always so nice to have a fresh new pile of ground corn that was just milled a couple of days ago. It not only looks good but also smells pretty good.
