Moving Cows.

Hi all,
Last Sunday, we moved the cows home. I had a little bit of a cold, so I took our old beater, Mom took the van, Andrew had his bike, Dad had my bike, and Cora took the 4-wheeler. ;-)
I will post a few pictures somewhere here. ;-)
Anyway, Dad, Andrew, and Cora went to where the cows were, and Mom and I took a better road, and then a trail, in such a way, that when the cows came, we would turn them so that they would turn and take the trail. Then, as it was hard to go in the vehicles, Mom and I went back and around the pasture. We got up to the road that the cows would come out on, and the more able vehicles brought the cows.
When we could see the cows, Mom got in front, Dad took the left, Cora took the right, and I fell in the back to join Andrew in moving the slow ones. When we got them close to home, we turned them into the alfalfa field on the back of our farm, and Mom and I let the the lighter vehicles take them in the pasture where Dad had taken the fence down earlier.

That's about it, here are some pictures. These first three are everybody getting ready to go, and the other two were taken by mom on the road.





Gotta go,

Jacob

Happy 15th birthday, Jacob. I like the pictures on your blog. I used to love moving the cows when I was a young girl. I remember trying to get them to turn the right way.
