I Am So Bad At Post Titles

Lucy

     Well, Benito was released 'on bail' on Monday. We fixed the fence and he has not escaped since!
     A magazine I read, Clubhouse, is having a fitness challenge. It is explained in the picture to the left. I am trying to gain all the points. =D Any ideas to get points?
     Also, we got another bucket-calf! Farmer's cousin has a heifer whose calf is believed to have some brain damage because she continually wanders out of the pen away from the herd. Anyways, we took her on as a bucket calf and named her Lucy.
     I believe that is all except that Tarquin is getting quite tame. =)

Cassanova Mario

     Guess what! Mario has been at it again! He jumped the fence and got into our neighbor's pasture. Farmer called and told us (Farm Boy and Me) because the neighbor a just called him. A little while later, I looked out the window, and what did I see? Mario munching happily on some alfalfa just outside our corrals!
     I quickly called Farm Boy, and we devised a plan. Farm boy gathered some alfalfa and lured Mario the few steps around the squeeze-chute to a corral pen from which he should not escape.
     Please pray that he won't! None of us would mind a quiet night. =)

Bulls....you never know!

     I should have posted about this earlier, but I was busy writing about Tarquin. Yesterday Benito got out. He hopped the fence and went across the road and into the cows' pen, which is not a good thing, because they could get pregnant right now, and we do not breed them until June.

Going into the corrals

     Anyway, Farmer noticed he was out and called Farm Boy and I to help him. Farm Boy drove the pickup and I rode in back to lure them with alfalfa. Farmer rode behind the cows on Bingo to make sure they followed. We led them to the corrals
and sorted Benito off and into the trailer. We then moved him back across the road into his proper pen.

Calling across the road to Mario

     Later, when Farmer was outside working, he heard some branches breaking. He looked to see what it was, and saw that now BOTH bulls were out! He quickly jumped in his pickup to head them off, and had chased them across a field or two before he manged to do so. He discovered if he got Benito heading the correct direction, Mario would follow in suit.
     He  got them back to our mailbox and then found himself faced with a dilemma. He could not get out of his pickup to open the gate for fear the bulls would leave while he was doing so. Therefore, he yelled as loud as possible for Farm Boy and I.
     Thankfully, Farm Boy was upstairs at the time and heard him. He opened the gate, and that was that!
     Mario is back in his pen, and Benito is in the corrals until he gives up 'calling' on the ladies. So everything is back to normal...except when Benito ran into the pickup, he did leave a rather large dent!

Hey!

     Just a quick post to say we now have a new blog just for Tarquin! check it out at tarquinthehorse.blogspot.com!

Yay!

     Well, I was going to post to say that nothing has happened...but something did! Comet foaled! =D Sometime early this morning I looked out and saw it!
     It is a chestnut stallion with a large star in the middle of his forehead. He is named Tarquin. And seeing as a picture is worth a thousand word, here are a few!
