Knock at the door, about 1 in the morning- Extremely large Washington State Trooper asking if we have any "black and white" calves. Well, yeah, we do, so what's the problem? Seems that they have escaped (hunter cut the fence so he could conveniently park inside the field), now they're out by Interstate 5, and other Troopers have them corralled.
Wouldn't ya know, Mom and Dad are out of town, and have left me (age 12) and Herman (hired man) in charge.
Me and Herman try to get the IH truck started, no luck (in retrospect, should have pull started the truck with the Hudson- but presence of large and agitated Trooper kind of pushed the situation to the next level, without benefit of a calm assessment of the alternatives). So we go out in his '46 Hudson business coupe (no back seat), and end up hauling them home, 2 at a time, with me back there with them, to keep them from leaping over the seat on top of him. Took about 10 trips, and the Troopers were noticeably testy and smelly (and sun was coming up) by the time we got done.
Cleanup the next morning was fairly straightforward- just flood the area with water until most of the chunks were out. Herman should have been outraged, but was not- which suited me fine.
