Cows and Tall Corn = Not Good

Upon arrival from an afternoon at the pool, we were summoned for back up. No not for any police hold up, but for cow back up. We had cows out (in the neighbors shhh) in the corn field. This is a HUGE deal for a number of reasons:
-damage they do trampling the corn
-if they eat to much, which the WILL do, they will get bloated and die
-they are SO hard to see b/c the corn is so tall.
I quickly turned the boiling pot of water for fresh corn on the cob, to simmer and told the kids hurry up we got cows out.









And here is where the fun begins. C'man looking for cows in the field:















This job can be very hard without cooperation from everyone, including the dogs. Here Boji is on watch. KDee is inside the pickup and is a great cow chaser.











We almost have them in at this point.







And now for real coverage:) Warning no animals or people were injured during the taping of this. BTW foul language could be used, however I think I shut the camera off just in time:) At one point with the cows standing in the corner of the field, they turned around to head back in. I dropped the 'S' word and was promptly echoed by Mr C'man. Opps...
