Saturday was not a good day. The fiest part was spent putting the bucket and lift arm assembly of my Great Bend loader back on the tractor. No problem there, but then I got a call from my neighbor that I had 3 cows out. She was not excited because they have cows that have gotten out so she knows the drill. When I got there the cows were back in the pasture and I thought all was well. I fed the cows some sweet feed and went to find the fence break. A tall poplar tree maybe 60 feet off the property line had fallen on the fence. Ten feet shorter and it would have missed. Decided to walk the rest of the fence around the 50 acre pasture and find the other cows. Just after finding them, I got a call on the cell phone that the 3 cows were back at the neighbors. After a lot of chasing the cows through thick brush, trees, and vines and calls to wife for help we got the cows back in, after one of them jumped a fence, tearing a section down. Neighbors dog was no help at all. Fed cows two large bales to keep them occupied and spent the rest of the day repairing fence, You guys out in the dry plains have some advantages. I noticed on Allan's pictures of his pasture that there were no trees to fall on the fence, no brush for cows to hide in, and if,no, WHEN, cows get out they can be followed and herded on horseback.A horse would have been usless for me even if I could ride one. I guess you have other problems out in the flatlands. I have sore muscles, scratches from briars, and a slight wrist sprain to recover from, but if I sat around I would probably get crippled up anyway. Ya'll have a good week. KEH

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
