We turned some bred heifers on corn stalks that a creek cuts through with high banks. I don't know if something spooked her or what not but we had a few others in the creek also. So they got thru the hot fence. We decided to walk the creek and found one of our bred heifers dead. She was a Tex Playbook heifer.
We raise a lot of cattle. I bottle feed babies. I warm up new babies in the winter with a blow dryer to save their lives... just to eat them down the road. I don't get attached but I take good care of them and want to keep them happy and healthy.
But it REALLY SUCKS when you lose some breeding stock that you hoped to have in your foundation for many years to come. |

The bank is 30ish feet on one side and a long slope of about the same on other but atlwast not straight up and down. Obviously took the lesser of two evils but our insurance company wanted her posted. Silly, considering she was dead in a creek. But whatever. A lot of dead cattle in this creek already. The Timber Creek took a lot of cattle during the March flood. Of course, you don’t see any. Not sure where they all went. |
