Little Red

Having teens is super entertaining, especially as you watch them try to learn how to adult.

Kate was on the phone.  She was asked her name.  She replied, “Kate.”

Salesman:  Can you spell that for me?

Kate:  Sure!  K as in “cat.”  Oh!  Wait.  Hmmmm.

Life is challenging.

Ok!  Raise your hand if you remember “Wandering Heifer of the Hills.”

Last April, we had a heifer jump the fence and she had traversed many a mile and was later found with a calf residing at another farm.  And we had no idea she was with child, Reader!

Today, all the stars aligned, and we went to fetch her.

First, David bought like 10 cattle panels, because $1100 on cattle panels seems reasonable while trying to catch a heifer who originally cost you $800.

David, Hadley, HD, and I went to go and set up a makeshift corral in an attempt to lure the cow/calf pair.  LD was absent because he was invited to a sleepover.

I know!  More anxious I could not be.  Because, manners.

But the mama called and said things are going so well they would like to have him another night, and yes, by all means.  Take the boy.  I should probably Venmo her some grocery money.

Anyways.  We went and we got to this cow pasture.

And we started to build our little corral and put fresh hay in it and all the cows were like-

Anyways.

We needed just two and they are not docile, calm creatures.

They are in the back there.  On the left is the baby and on the right is the mother.  The baby is a reddish brown with a white face.  The mother is black with a white face.

I have named the baby, who is a girl, Little Red.

We have named the mother, Pita, and we have a reason for that, but it is PG.  Maybe even PG13.  But you cannot judge us because you did not have to deal with her.  And if you did, you would name her Pita, too.

Anyways!  After much pomp and circumstance, we were able to seperate Pita and Little Red from the herd and we loaded them into the trailer and now they are home and all is happy in the world.

And don’t worry.

I helped Kate out and told her that K was for Kangaroo.

Totally saved the day.

Later, Gators.
