I had an old red cow here that I thought for sure would have to die here. I got her in the trailer this morning and got her to the stockyard. I had always given the chances that she'd kill me if I tried to load her,to be about ten times the chances that I could load her up and get her out of here. I bought her in a herd that I bought back in 2002. I hired somebody to haul them and he had to make several trips because of her. Every time the guy would call him to say they were corralled,she'd smash something down and the rest would get out. I had her caught in the corral just one time before,and that was about a dozen years ago. I had them all corralled to preg check and she smashed a gate and let the rest out. She was down in the mud early this spring and I thought that was the end of her. I tried to get a rope on her then to pull her out and she kept swinging her head at me. She used every bit of strength she had in her to get up and charge me. If I hadn't messed with her,I'm sure she would have laid there and died. She had slicked up pretty good on pasture but I was pretty sure she wasn't bred. The other cows had been riding her from time to time. Every morning for the last few weeks,she'd been laying in the corral just tempting me,so this morning I shut the gate on her and eight other cows. I nudged here and two others up behind a gate behind the trailer with the four wheeler. I figured it was a one time chance and if she got away,that was it. The other two cows came back around the four wheeler and she kept going for the trailer. I hit her with the end gate and she jumped right in.
I feel sorry for the guys at the stockyard. I warned them that she was crazy. They got the message pretty quick. She wouldn't even come out of the trailer. Every place there was anybody standing,she'd slam the side trying to get to them.
I don't know when I've ever been so relieved to see a cow go down the road.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. 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
