For the 1st 3 or 4 years after they were gone, I could tell you the date and hour that the last load left and how many were on that trailer. The last one to load was a crazy 2-year old; I had to 'bait' her into the pen and hide behind a couple of sheets of plywood made into a blind. Took the better part of a half-day; all I remember now is that it was in May..........'06 or '07........probably. I lied when I said I didn't miss it; I miss pulling a calf as it's getting dark and it's raining/sleeting; I'm lying on my belly in the mud and she's a 2-year old that I'm not sure is gonna make it. Typically, there's only the nose and ONE foot showing. I miss the sheriff's department calling at 2:00 A.M. and saying, "Ain't you got some cows on Patton/Orysa/Hurricane Hill/Carney/William Switch, etc Road". Well.........reckon why they wanna know; the ones that are out are ALMOST never mine, but you still gotta get up and go see. I can't imagine dealing with dairy cattle; beef are 'bad' enough. In the '50s and '60s, there were 4 dairys within 3 miles of where I'm sitting; they......plus the others that were in the county.......are all gone.
