AWOL Heifers

This afternoon, I went with Larry to find his wandering heifers. The six of them had gone to the neighbors' pastures to visit but didn't bother to leave a note telling him where they were going or, for that matter, when they planned to be back. They had left evidence of their visits and didn't bother to hide their tracks, so with the help of several individuals who had seen them, we found them. They followed Larry's little red truck across a half mile of pasture but balked at traveling on the road to return to their home. In round two, we'll try leading them to a friendly neighbor's corral, loading them into a stock trailer and chauffeuring them back to their home trough.
