Our Own Little Rodeo

It seems like an annual thing. We have a cow get out. We call the brand inspector. The brand inspector calls us. We go get the cow. This year was just a little different. This cow was a RIP! We tried to get her in at least 3 times. She would not come close to the trailer. It didn't matter if we took her calf, if we gave her corn or if she was all alone. She was never mean just wild. Anyway she got out, the brand inspector got a call, then we got a call saying that she was in a field in Eckert and she was on the fight. Sounds about right. We tried one more time, we put a calm calf out with her trying to get her to come in with the calf. Didn't work.
Matt talked to some guys at the sale barn who wanted to practice their Ranch Rodeo skills. A end was in site. I was so happy!
I took my camera because I needed to document the devil getting caught and brought into submission.

They finally got her. The poor little calf was running around wondering what on earth was going on.

They got her around the neck and one front leg and dragged her to the trailer. I was so nervous she was going to jump the fence before they got her.

Finally they dragged her all the way into the trailer and the calf loaded like a puppy. We took her strait to the sale barn and it was done. I couldn't believe we got her.
