A visit with the Cows

One group of "girls" over by the old house

Danny offering up the cubes - these cows sure do love their cow cubes!!

Tyson turned out to be a great Cow-Poke.  He wasn't afraid of the cows at all, 

unlike his grandma who still gets a little nervous when surrounded by animals 

that weigh over a ton each.  Tyson protected me and helped feed the cattle.  

Then drove the four-wheeler all over the ranch without any help.

I finally got to visit the ranch and see the cows in their new home.  That is almost all the cows moved onto the ranch.  Three are still visiting the neighbor's ranch.  We tried for a long time on Monday night to get them to come home - only saw them once and they ran.  Tuesday morning we tried again and got them all the way to the gate, but couldn't separate them from the neighbor's cows and get them through the gate.  Danny is going back on Thursday to try again.   Tyson and I took the four-wheeler out earlier Thursday morning with some apples for the cattle. While we were feeding them, some of the cows found the bucket of cattle cubes in the back and were helping themselves.  They love those cubes - but we needed the cubes to tempt our absent cows back home so Tyson and I took off - it was a while before the cows stopped trying to follow.  They really really wanted those cubes.  In fact, when we got to the ranch Monday around noonish the cattle had opened the big garage style door and eaten all they could find in the barn.   They were not in the bar itself, but had pulled bags of cubes out the door to eat them.  We know to lock the barn better in the future.
