Well, it actually started the night before with a call from neighbor that cow was out on highway. All cows were innocently in pasture when I checked. Yesterday morning found some tracks along road, narrowed the suspect list to 2 cows, decided to sell both(they were not good producers anyway) Suspected one had gotten out before and jumped the fence to get back in. Not much cure for a jumper but to sell her. Sold them today, dodging much needed rain in the process. The hard part was repairing one of the homade axles on the homade cattle trailer I made about 20 years ago. Used the same Lincoln 225 stick welder to repair it that I used to make it. Wish every piece of equipment gave the kind of good service that welder has given. BTW they didn't have a TSC or Northern to buy axles from around here then. Minimum size of cattle trailer: Having one that has 2 compartments has really been nice. Load some in the front, close center gate, load some more in the back. Full grown cow need about 7 feet of space, so for 2 compartments need 14 foot long trailer. The new goosenecks seem to start at 16 feet which is better. Nice feature to have on a new one is a front side door in case you need to sort cattle. KEH
