Cows (part 1)

As Joel said, I have pictures of our eventful day. However, if I just show the pictures of the cows that were given and the women who received them, I wouldn't be doing the day justice. The day started by trying to load one of the cows into the truck that would be hawling them to Murissa (about one hour away).

First, we (I say 'we' but I wasn't involved in it at all) walked the cow up our road and to a natural ramp. This particular cow, Ginger, has been noted to have a bit of fight in her and she was not going to load up easily.

It started out easy enough...

but it didn't stay that way. She turned around just as they were close to getting her in :)After more pushing and pulling, she was in!

Joel held her in so they could put the poles behind her.

This is him consoling her a bit. He has been purposeful in helping her become more friendly in order to make her agreeable to be around for whomever receives her. I'm not sure she accepted his apology (or if that was even what he was doing - it just looked that way in my picture).

How bought this tail gate?!

Off they go....

I'm off to bed as well, I'll try to continue the story tomorrow...
