NOT Carlin's list, but:
"The cows are out"
I had the bunch of heifers locked up in the feedlot, fattening up for their field trip toward the end of March. This group is soooo flighty. They managed to lift a gate off the hinges and got out into a pasture late last week. Not the worst thing, with the snow gone there is a little grass to munch on and they are still inside the perimeter fence.
So after I grained them this afternoon, I figured I'd sneak out and fix the gate. NOT. Since the gate was laying on the hot wire this morning, I unplugged the fencer to clear the gate.
Sure enough, the scardy-cow lookout spotted me, and the whole bunch took to running around the feedlot. One crashed into the tensile fence, now de-energized, and jumped right through and into the vineyard.
Took about an hour, but by blocking the end of the grape rows with loader and truck, then driving out to the other end, I got behind her and walked her toward the others. She eventually went right back through the fence, but into a lane to a different pasture. Now I was able to re-energize the fence, and open the gate to that lane. With any luck, they will all be together in the morning.
Brought it all on myself, I guess. I better secure that gate.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
