Getting Rid of the Cows

I was ready to tell him the grass not ready yet when I learned my brother, lloyd had just sold the herd! After wondering what Rex and I would do all summer in empty fields, Lloyd showed up with nephew Wes to put in electric fence and troughs for steers. Lloyd Green, a friend who pastures steers, was a big help on how to install water injectors with anti bloat medicine (Dad used to puncture bloated cows and sometimes save them). My brother brewded about letting his cows go but offer was too good). He looked for anything to call it off. That old bull goes with the bunch or all stay. Okay okay. Night before the cows were collected by liners, there was a ruckus among the cows. In the morning big old #80 was on the front lawn eating Nancy's flowers. Lloyd yelled and she (#80) farted and took off. Could there be any doubt our late father was behind this final salute?
The 2 liners of steers got stuck inside the pasture same place as last year. One had to unload in the field and terrified steers charged out and went through the electric fence and down towards the coulee. Lloyd phoned sister, Louanne, who soon was there with 2 horses. We kept one load of steers in the corral while Lloyd and Louanne rounded up the others. At one time Lloyd phoned from his horse to ask if they were in my trees. Nope. Seemed this second load had vanished, until we noticed the gate into the corral down. The #2 load had broken in to join #1. I moved my sheep and llamas out of the way and we put the combined group back by water hole for the night and hoped they would calm down. Next morning Lloyd, Lou and Wes came to repair the fence and we eased the doggies out into the pasture. Lloyd installed a water injection system copied by Wes while at work for an oil company.
It's Sunday now and crazy calves are settling. Water system works great and at 28 degrees is good. I'd still prefer cows to walk amongst but without them should make for a nice winter and spring for Lloyd. Hope Dad doesn't send us any more messages.
