Runners

The eight head of calves that ran the furthest from my wreck the other day on their way home. They still had a couple of miles to go here and they were getting pretty tired. As soon as I put them where they belonged they stopped and rested. They were tired little critters. Taken 10/16/2007.

Spare the cattle prod find no answers. Looking at this picture it's the second calf who looks guilty, he's hiding something. Does anyone know the proper US Government water boarding procedure for cattle... the answers are out there!

I'm happy all are home and home safe, would RFI chips have found them faster?? or told you they were lost/not on your ranch like those invisiable dog fences. Can you tell I'm not a rancher here.

The kind of RFID tags they want to use on cattle would be of no use in a situation like this. They want to use a passive kind that takes and externally powered reader to read.

There is an active kind that can be read from a satellite in orbit but they are very expensive.

One of these days I really need to consider getting rid of my old cows. I Let cows go to the hills if they are in good shape. I noted while cutting this cow is 17 years old. She is in pretty good shape for being in the hills all summer but her calf is a little below par. It will sell with the rest but it's just not great. No surprise there. Instead of getting rid of my old cows maybe I need to start a new breed of long lived cows that are capable of sustained production. What a plan. Taken 9/23/2007.
