Surprise Visitor

Our bull that is turned out with the fall calving cows injured himself yesterday and is done for the breeding season.  Joe tried to get him up by himself but wasn't successful. 

So today I went with him to help. 

It was pretty easy, I just had to wave my arms a little to help get him across the creek.  Joe did everything else to get him in to the barn lot.  

After that there was a calf that was a little off and Joe wanted to try to catch to treat her.  While he was walking around attempting to get close enough to rope her a surprise visitor showed up.  

He was pretty big and didn't really seem scared of us.  After posing for a few pictures he ran off over the hill.  I am glad this isn't the farm where we have our goats. 

Joe was not able to catch the calf but he did return with the truck and trailer to bring the bull back to the house and turned him into the bull lot.  This is the third year that he has not lasted for the entire breeding season.  He went lame the other two times.  Third strike and I think he is out.
