The bulls are home!
Verne and help put up temporary cattle panels in the summer pasture and lured the yearling bulls inside with range cubes. These bulls have been in the summer pasture since May, enjoying native grasses, two ponds and the solitude of nature.
Every couple of weeks we'd give them a taste of cubes, working toward the day we'd catch and bring them back home.
This year it worked like a charm, and they were moved back to the homestead by trailer. The bulls were unloaded into the maze field so now they are roaming the paths like our visitors did this earlier this fall.
Pumpkins that have been decorating the farm's landscape have been gathered up and thrown in the maze field too. The buffs will enjoy them for a sweet treat to go with the Sudan Grass.
Now I can look out my office window and watch their antics as the bulls run full blast, storming in and out of the maze paths.
It's fun to watch them stomp and munch the pumpkins too, always looking for their favorite varieties, rolling aside the types they don't like until they run out of the sweet pie pumpkins.
They will be eating "Thanksgiving pumpkin pie" for the next month!
