    Posted on Monday November 9th, 2009 at 17:13 in chickens, cattle, steers, goosegoose

    Loading the steers did not go so well yesterday. We had one loaded, the other one ran, jumped a fence, got back in the chute, both steers got out…it was chaos. I laughed I cried I almost got trampled by cattle. Good times. A terror on anothe...
