What a way to start a Sunday morning. I saw a heifer walking along the fence first thing this morning and things just didn't look right. The cows can get in that pasture,but don't usually because the feeder is in another field. She was walking kind of quick and looking at the fence. Sure enough,the gate in the corner of the feedlot was open and there was only about a dozen of the 65 or so that should be in there that were still there. I ran around back and about half were still on the concrete,so I shut the gate and got them back in and shut the gate.
There was a bunch still in that west pasture,so I dragged some gates around and got them back in the cow lot and shut the gate on them before I came in and got the wife. There was 8 of them around by the feeder to the east with the cows. We got all but one. He jumped up on a board fence right in the corner and smashed it down. I wired a gate up there. He'll have to settle down and come back on his own.
We usually only use that gate that they got open,to move cull cows in to the feedlot to load them out and I keep a wire on the chain so they can't lick the chain off. They must have rubbed on it and broke it off or something. The only bright side,there was still a bull calf out there that belonged to a cow we had to shoot a week or so ago. He was in with the first bunch that I got back in,so he's in the pen with the rest of the weaned calves now,so that's a good thing. Not how I had planned to catch him,but he's in there.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
