The **** are back this morning. I look out the back window to see about 60 heifers running across the creek and through some trees...and there, not 30 yards behind them are 6 ****. They are partially the samg group that came through last week, but with the addition of a couple more new ones. The **** were having the time of their lives running those heifers...until I had to take care of some more business.
The heifers are now all standing in a huddle in the corner of the pasture, probably weighing 10 pounds less than they did last night.
Oh, the joys of country living and raising cattle.

A dog can be shot for running a deer where I was born, and it DOES NOT MATTER IF THAT DOG IS JUST OUR FOR A WALK OR NOT..If they run any animal, be it wild/farm/tame/whatever, the dog can be shot.
If people would only realize what happens to strays or dumped animals...but that would be impossible...Cause if they had a fluppin brain they wouldnt have done it in the first place...

Protect your investments in what ever manner you have to. It may be a hard pill to swallow for some, but I'm sure this man does NOT have the time to go all over town trying to find someone who cannot assume responsibility for their animals. I know I'd have an extremely hard time following through with the deed, but folks....when it's your time, your life, and your money being influenced what would you do? Put yourself in his situation!

Had a customer once that their dog would not let us stop in front of their house. Customer called complaining that the work had not been done. I told the customer that the dog prevented us from doing the work. Customer INSISTED that the dog was always in the house, unless accompanied by their son. Lost that customer.
A few weeks later, when the roads were a sheet of ice, we had just turned the corner and were going maybe 10 mph. The roads were so slick we could not have made the turn, if we were going any faster. The dog came running out after the truck, slid on the ice, and went under the tires. We went to the door to inform the owners that their dog was laying in the road, dead. The son answered the door and INSISTED that the dog does not go out of the house unsupervised.
Later that day we talked to the parents and they said the same thing. The dog NEVER goes out unsupervised. We told them it took knocking on the door 3 times to get their son to answer it. They never did accept (and/or admit to) the FACTS.
On another occasion, my wife was standing talking to a customer. The customer stated that her dog would not and could not, bite anyone as he had no teeth. Just then the dog lunged at my wife and bit her on the leg. No holes but left one heck of a bruise.
It is called "responsibility." Some people have it, some don't.
Oh, and I have to agree with wundudnee.
Bringing this topic up again, is just plain stirring.
But since I did not post this in the last one, I will here.
Now I have put my spoon away. At least for a while. [;)]

Point taken. [:D]

And I assumed that "taking care of business was relieving himself.
And it takes a good eye to see a 10# cumulative loss on 60 head of heifers.
This was no more informative than the first load.

By the looks of the heifers, they had been chased since daybreak or so before I broke up the party. No doubt they ran off 10 pounds each--maybe more...and this is a year we've had a drought and the grass is poor.
I raise these animals to breed and sell--they sell by the pound. Hopefully I can put the weight back on in the next 2 weeks or so. With 60 head and at the current price of beef, I figure this morning's weight loss cost me about $500.
This post is not intended to stir or anoy. I don't expect your support, though it's appreciated. And I don't care if you have a problem with my actions--you will have to live with it. I just hope you tell all your town friends what us ranchers do to the **** they are tempted to drop off in the country. It ain't near as pretty as the city pound.

In Dostoevsky's Notes From the Underground, the antagonist argues against the impossible tyranny that 2 + 2 = 4, and insists that he should have the right to believe that 2 + 2 = 5. And he certainly does have that right. But if he stands between two railroad tracks and jumps 2 + 2 feet away, thinking he has yet a foot to spare, and a train comes by, that belief of his will not save him from being a mangled and bloody mess on the tracks. And while we can say in this case that his belief that 2 + 2 = 5 has indeed been falsified, we cannot similarly say the same about his belief that he is going to heaven, much less his belief that there is a heaven to go to.

DWS: Sir you truly the subtle ingenious master of being contrived. Once more leaveing me speechless.
No doubt you are mute because your point is moot.
If you see MY dog worrying your cows, SHOOT the SOB and leave him for the coyotes. No hard feelings.

How about if he just comes into my yard?
"Right is Right, even is everyone is against it, and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it"
looks like when he gets them in the yard he saves $500
So knowledge and belief are the same thing?
