I have never abused a piece of equipment like I did fat polly yesterday. The first attempt after we got the new paddock water tank and heater set up and working. Small fence from corner of barn to tank wired to t-posts and electric cord wired to top of the fence made sure all gates were closed and chained. Also broken glass from old windows that feel out this summer. Went to house for coffee and to warm up The yaks weren't interested in following fat polly with Rod dribbling treats and shaking the bucket of alapha cubes. Sheila was to "squirley" and Porter to interested in Granny. Back to house again to work on plan "B" and warm up.

So plan "B" get bobcat and grapple with hay and see if they will follow that will a little encouragement from behind. Bobcat is dead get that running and Rod is down in the tit "enticing" (not so much) Fat polly dies so Rod comes up with bobcat to jump fat polly . We had left the gate open as yaks were showing no interest in coming up. UNTIL bobcat hooked to fat polly and out the gate they come. After any green grass they could get. Porter started to head to the spot where there is no fence and shear drop off with chunks of cement thrown over edge to stop erosion. I start walking SLOWLY towards them and Rod goes down thru creek to come up on them and stop them from jumping to death or taking the path to the large pasture the one that isn't finished yet. Robert is also helping to get them back into old paddock. So Porter, granny, Sheila and one other cow go back. Star and comet decide to go on a "walk about" but were headed the right way. Robert and I with canes walked behind them and they went right to where they were supposed to. Lock them in. Walked back to fat polly started her drove down and got Robert and then Rod. Back to house to warm up and work on plan "C". Leave polly running and the bobcat running.

So cute! I've never hatched! I'd make Red seem calm and cool! 

I don't think that's possible lol

You don't have a friend or something that shares the single status as well that you could share your holiday with?

trippy I'd be glad to have you. You're more than welcome here.

Me too! I'm slow! I think Camping and I are the only 2 without a feather!   Minions we are! The ads never bother me much on my laptop, and I never sign in on my phone.  

if I had money you and camping would have golden feathers. Let me win a couple more contest and I know y'all will have golden feathers.

Glad you survived!  Sounds like you need to start breeding heelers.  They'd get your yaks moving! 

they're also good at eating broody hens lol.

Im feeling compel d  to write this morning about Christmas and family.   Nothing like a large family gathered around the table or fire . everyone together at Christmas Right ? I had 5 sisters.  that makes for the right ingredient to have that picture perfect holiday, dont it ?   Not for me it dont. see, I came from a broken home where everyone picked sides and no one was close. jealousy ran through the sisters and favorites were drawn.   I had my favorite as did we all.  I remember a present one yr. a tipy tumbles doll. she did flips on a wired remote. As I sat under the tree playing with her one of my sister came and jumped in the air , kicked me in the back and said, sit up straight.  Thats my only memory of Christmas at home. Jump to a small daughter and not a dime in my pocket, I rummaged through her toy box and got what was on the bottom that she hadnt played with and wrapped it for Christmas. But, I made sure santa came to the house because she heard the bells and left the back door open and a cookie was gone. that is her favorite memory today.  I am blessed this year to have my daughter and grandkids ,son and dh with me. But, as you can see , it wasnt always so. My sisters dont contact me or very rarely . I didnt hear from anyone on thanksgiving.  I dont have memories to draw on. some this yr . are facing Christmas without familys around them and it sounds very depressing but it dont have to be. You can draw on memorys of Christmas past and you can know you are loved.  good friend can be family , a stranger on the street with no coat can be family, However you choose to look at it. remember, Its in your heart and mine....
