update on our cow neighbor

The local farmers who work together with their cows showed up to put another strand of barbed wire on the fence bordering our septic area. Eor saw them, while I was making breakfast, and commented that an escape artist cow is usually the first one to become hamburger, because it's just too much trouble to run around putting up more wire.

And this cow IS an escape artist. Now that he's learned the trick he just keeps testing the fence. While they were working on the fence by the septic field, he got out at another spot, and they saw him behind our barn. Dick brought David's truck up to our driveway while David was walking along the fence bordering the back of our property, so Eor went out to talk with him, and reported to me that Dick says, "A cow like that, the best place to keep him is a twenty-one cubic foot enclosure at below zero degrees."

But for now they're going to put him inside an electric fence enclosure, to convince him that fences are not to be pushed against.
