Cows Love Corn, part 1

Remember Little Boy Blue, blowing the whistle when cows were in the corn? His mama wasn't joking when she told him to wake up and deal with the issue. Cows in the corn are bad pizza.

Just look at this mess.

The trouble starts here. The grass is always greener, you know.

Then Bossy gets a good whiff of that summer corn smell, and reason flies out the window. Barbed wire is meaningless to a cow intoxicated with corn dreams.

"Hmmm, now let me see.....am I in the mooooooood for the alfalfa sprouts this morning, or the corn salad?"

FarmGirl Brigade to the rescue.

Being a Cowgirl in Command, Erica speaks a firm word of direction to Bossy,

....but the cow's not listening. So Audrey has to go get her.

Now get back where you belong!

Unfortunately, this is the third time these cows have violated their meal plan in the last two days. So we're going to have to take measures more drastic than barbed wire to deal with their gluttonous corn lust. Sorry girls.....time for shock therapy.

Erica comes back on the four-wheeler with the necessary supplies for building an electric fence.....

a reel of wire,























some fence posts, and a hefty hammer.

























By the time we're finished, as Erica checks our work,

the cows have perfected their innocent act. Who, us? Want corn? Fuggidaboudit, it's way too hot. If the weather's not too hot to prevent a jailbreak, at least the fence is.
