Unfortunate Events

Today was the big day of spring cattle working. 

For this many, we enlisted the help of Mike. 

Joe and I had already gotten the cattle closer to the barn the day before.  So with the extra help, it was no trouble getting them to the barn.  

First in the series of unfortunate events, sometimes your face is just in the wrong place at the wrong time. 

Then a board holding a gate came off.  We had to stop everything to get a hammer and try to patch it back. 

Next, a cow jumped a gate.  Unfortunately, she didn't clear it.  This required a corral panel as a temporary solution.  Other than that, things went smoothly.  No injuries, human or animal and we were done by lunch. 

Zipper stayed out of trouble in the dog pen.  

 You can tell she is still alive by the fact she rolled over.  I think she has been running around all night with the guard dogs, then comes back to the house to sleep all day.  A big change from a couple of months ago.
