Carry On

Posted on November 25, 2019November 25, 2019

Phone calls. They can ruin the best of plans.

“Just thought you’d want to know… just down from your house, there’s a cow out on the road.” I thanked a neighbor for the heads up, sighed, and headed for my coat and boots.

There she is, a young heifer, discontented with grazing a field, she’s now along the roadway, eying an elk trail that leads towards the mountain. I send Eden to move her off the fence, but call Eden off quickly. The heifer can easily remember how and where she escaped and will, especially if there isn’t a dog on her heels, scaring her.

See… there she goes… right back to the gate.

She steps OVER the remaining wires calmly and returns to the field.

I don’t know if the broken wires were her fault or if I should blame the frequent wildlife visitors that use the same spot to enter the field. A few more minutes and the wires were repaired.

Order restored, I could return to my house and carry on.

    Don’t you love it!!! I had one come through. Took down fence, a gate and the poles in my feeder. Of course, it was raining. Life in a ranching area.

Carol, Wyoming rancher

Since 2008, I’ve kept this photographic journal of life on a Wyoming ranch.  I share ranch work, my family, crafts and DIY, my English Shepherd, Bravo, and a love for this land.  Enjoy this red dirt country!
