We had one. It got fried up in a storm awhile back. We've been waiting to get another one till we could afford to purchase another weed burner type. They're on the more expensive side for the size we need. The less powerful ones just aren't worth it. Forgot to ask neighbor if he had one of the size and strength we need.
Herd owner/neighbor was up here today and we're getting everything sorted out. He's been busier than a one legged man at a butt kicking contest, his wife just had surgery again, he was up here searching for a missing bull today (I didn't have anything to do with it, I swear!
). We've had our issues with the big tractor continuously dying, me being sick, DH's work schedule, etc.
Now that things have settled down on both our ends, we can all put our heads together. Soon as the ground dries out a bit, the baby coop will be going out to the garden to join the brahma coop, hot wire going around both coops. Even if the hotwire fails, there will be a cattle panel fence plus a barbed wire fence between the cows and the two coops. End of cow vs. coop problems.
In the meantime, we'd have taken extra measures to make sure last night's performance won't be repeated. It's kinda hard to explain, but we are taking measures.
Oh and psst Sour, it's not the feed they're after. It's the litter. Cows love dirty chicken litter. And they say chickens are disgusting creatures!
Also, yet another thing Gritty will wonder about till her dying day. How on earth a cow can poo in a nestbox - not on, not beside, but IN! one.
