Or the steer in this case! (Actually there was a cow out too but I didnt get a picture of it) They had both jumped the fence!!! The steer got out last Saturday and the cow got out this past Friday. The steer was a couple of miles south of us and the cow was a mile north of us. It took us almost a week to find the steer but the cow was in plain sight thank goodness!
Also some pictures of my speed demon grandaughter!!! |

I made the mistake of allowing him to charge a steer who kept challenging my fenceline, so now he is stuck on fast forward ... Although, I will say that all I have to say is "down", and he backs off immediately. He is also pretty good at heading and heeling, when we are using him to move cattle and one gets a bit high handed. He doesn't go out and herd the cattle when he is out alone, but he takes great delight in swinging from their tails if he gets to hustle them up a bit. He doesn't try it ever time, but if he doesn't get to work cattle at least twice a week, he will start making his own decisions about when his help is needed. Obviously <g> my dog knows more about what he is supposed to be doing than I do. |
When my DD was 3 she took a ride with a boy (4) in one of those things. THey were headed down the drive way and she reached around and put her arm on his shoulder. Shook him up so much he ran it off in a ditch. We all stood there and laughed until we peed.

She is so cute. And looks like she is having a ball. Glad the cow and steer are home.

Obviously <g> my dog knows more about what he is supposed to be doing than I do. They got out where a branch had fallen on the fence and we didnt find it until the cow got out!!!! DH has been working with the dog on working with cattle and the goats. But I think it was probably just pure luck!!!! :lol: :lol: |
A branch ... sneaky little devil <g>.
We were out feeding this evening, and I looked up in time to see a red,white face head around the foundation ... oops, I told hubby ... the calf is out and I had best get up there and start getting things under control. Hubby was re-charging the rub, so I left him with the Cadet and the dogs took off with me across the pasture ... my surprise was: it wasn't the calf ... but, it was the mom, so now mom is on the wrong side of the electric fence and the calf is on the right side, but calf can get to the wrong side to be with mom, so! The problem is: how to get mom up the hill if the calf ever comes through. (Normal people would probably be asking - - why did that cow go through the electric fence, but I pulled my Scarlett O'Hara character out and said, "I will think about that LATER!") My cattle come (usually when I call "Come, Babe" ... but, they are usually in a slightly different frame of mind. I managed to get her to follow me and the dogs (who won't "stay" worth beans at the most inopportune times) up the hill until we got to the machine shed - - which is not actually a shed, but is a lot of machinery all parked together. Then the calf came out, and I was sure I was going to lose it all ... but hubby came up with the Cadet ... he got behind her, and the short of it all was: cow and calf back with the herd and NO equipment damage ... how is that for being accomplished??? and, we found out that cattle will too go up a steep hill ... and some other things about the design of our fences when cattle are walking up sand hills next to electric fences. <g> Just another day in paradise! LOL I think your pup is a lot of what your husband has put into him. Did he ever work him with a leash? We didn't get Duke until he was over a year and a half old ... the fact that he is as good as he is, is almost a miracle. |
Sounds like you had a FUN day omak!!! :D these critters can be quite frustrating sometimes!!!!
This pup and our donkey have become best buds! It is so funny to watch them, they have "tender moments" together!!!!! :lol: :lol: No DH hasnt put the pup on a leash yet. I have a feeling he wont like it much! These heelers have an inborn instinct about working with cattle, so pups arent to hard to train. I would imagine if yours hasnt been around cattle before you got him, it might take a little longer. |
Cute granddaughter. Was she chasing the steer or the cow? Or was it the guy on horseback?. Who was chasing who(m)?Or was the cow going after your grandaughter or....?????
judee :D :D :D |

I would imagine if yours hasnt been around cattle before you got him, it might take a little longer. I have actually seen a cow dog working cattle, all by himself ... a real thinking dog, to say the least. Your pup, following behind (sort of on his own) looked to be a good job. I just figured maybe you had taught him something or used a technique that I wasn't getting. |
Great pics Melissa! I love your GD in the little car! You've GOTTA get her a convertible when she's older - I love to see a woman in a flash car! She's such a cutie!

She will have to move over soon and make room for her brother! |

http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-greet025.gif Hi Cathie!!!! Keys will be well hidden when that time comes!!!! :lol: :lol: |
Well Melissa...love those "cow outings" as we call them. We had an epidemic of them this spring with some weanlings. They had twisted the wire all together in one spot and were just romping through the hole and out into the barn lot and open barn....not a huge problem because they couldn't get to Mama and they also couldn't get to the road...but HUGE mess in the barn!! Darn things...took me 2 days to find the hole!
When I first started to read your post, I could barely see the picture of your GD...I thought you were gonna say she put the cows back up! :lol: :lol: |
Patti It took DH several days to find where these got out too!!!! This was the first time any got out. So aggrivating :evil: Now the goats on the other hand, they think they should be on the other side of the fence no matter what!!!!! But they are easy to get in, just go to the barn and holler "GOATS" and they come running!!!! :D
|
Wow!!! It's like a real life cow rustlin at your house lately huh? How aggrivatingly fun for you!!! http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/s...ansport012.gif
Your grandbaby is an absolute doll baby!!! She's the cutest little speed demon I've ever seen!! http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/s...ansport001.gif Better teach her about these soon... http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/s...ansport003.gif |
