Welp, I was choring this morning and I went to bring the calves in for some grain. I didn't pay any regard to the cows until this one kept getting in my way, not following the routine and after I cussed her good I noticed the ear tag and she wasn't mine. Well, I think she is now, you see I have an auctioneer friend who works at a local cattle auction and a few days ago over a brewski I mentioned I wouldn't mind a few more cows if they were cheap. I'm guessing he dumped her into the yard sometime Saturday afternoon. I'll be getting a bill in the mail..incidentally he's never been wrong on cattle for me, always good cattle and always in my price range, of course he sees a lot of cattle come through the ring in a week, now I owe him a bottle of rum for trucking her down from Brussels. After I threw hay down she seemed to fit right in. have you ever found strange animals in your barn?...Mike in Exeter Ontario

Several years back when veal calves were bringing NOTHING a neighbor took three calves to the sale barn, put a sign on the truck "free calves,help yourself" and went to do some errands. When he got back there were five calves in the truck.

John: I will vouch for that story. Somewhere in my posessions I have a check for 25 cents from a sale barn and for a calf. Auctioneer told me later all those uncashed checks caused him a lot of book keeping grief. Something like 1200 checks for less than 50 cents each were never cashed, and over a 3 month period. Soon after that he moved to a minamum per animal rather than straight percentage.

I personally haven't...but some neighbours down the raod have pigs. In the morning, they found a (stray) pig walking in their alleys. Now, pigs has a bigger biosecurity alert than cattle....figure it must of come from a truck somewhere

About 18 years ago a #1000 angus cross steer showed up with my dads beef cows. He didn't fit in with the hereford cows very well but seemed to be content. We contacted all the local farmers with cattle but no one were missing any. Even run adds in the paper but no one ever claimed him. So we put him with our steers and that fall filled the freezer with him.

Nope, but two summers ago something didn't seem right outside ( I sleep with the window open ) so I got up, dressed and headed out for a look see.
Eventually found a naked man in one of my fence rows talking on a cell phone. If you can beat THAT, well....bring it on.

Dave: One evening after I finished milking the herd, I decided to mow some hay. There was a river along the back side of my field. I was striking out the last field along the river bank. As I started along the river bank, first section was lined with trees, then came a break in the trees. Had been watching haybine and as I turned check front end of tractor, movement in the river caught my eye.

I turned to see a naked young man standing in water up past his knees, and trying to hold a canoe steady. In the canoe was a naked young lady frantically trying to get her clothes on. Her progress was slow to say the least. Personally I thought she needed more help. I'd have offered, but I wasn't naked.

This is a true story that happened about 20 years ago. A fellow near me took some hostien steers to the sale barn one Saturday. He and his son started milking Sunday and two holstien steers with the stickers still on their back were in the barn with the milk cows. They were sure they were two of the steers they"d hauled 75 miles to the sale barn. About noon on Sunday the farmer three farms down the road was out looking for his two steers he bought at the sale barn on Saturday. They had gotten out of the pen and found their home during the night.

One fall, three cows with calves showed up in our pasture. We called the brand inspector, he came and checked the brands. The owner called and we told him they were in the corral and he could just come and load them up. There was one heifer calf that was kind of small and dwarfy looking. She was still in the corral after he loaded the rest. We called him and left a message, never came and got her. We kept here and raise some big calves off her for 6 years until I decided to go to college so we sold them. My stepfather took her to the stockyard and the brand inspector said he send the guy the check unless we were claiming a pasture bill against her. We told him no. One day the brand inspector dropped the check off with my Mom and said the guy never responded and we could have the check for pasture.
