As usual I drove the truck to back up to the trailer while hubby opened gates and directed me to the right spot so he could drop the trailer onto the hitch.
I can't back up that trailer and make a turn aiming for the corral gate for nothing no matter how much I try so hubby gets to do that .
We get bully into the trailer without any problems as usual. Seems like they always know if they load up they are going to party. LOL
I drive the truck and trailer while hubby unlocks and opens gates.
We go down the road a bit open the gate and I pull the trailer into the property a ways to pull the cows away from the open gate. Usually there is never a problem everyone does what they are supposed to.
This time hubby goes to let the bull out and call the cows so everyone could get acquainted as usual. Darned if I didn't look back and see some cows wonder out the gate and up the road to our other property gate across the road!
Hubby tells me to jump in the truck go up the road turn it around and block the road so the cows wouldn't go too far. I told him no way! I can't turn it around that fast! You do it!
So he jumped in and dropped me off at the gate to block the ones in there and to let the others in.
No big deal pretty normal. Except! This time the other bull across the road came up to welcome the ladies from across the road!
Well that is not ok with the bull we just dropped off! He started heading to the gate to have a talk with that guy! Let him know real quick just how things are going to be!
Hubby was up the road shooing the cows back where they belong. I was at the open gate guarding it .... That is until I looked up to see about a 2000 lb bull in front of me eyeballing the bully directly behind me on the other side of the road.
They were both bellowing. I swear they had the yard stick out measuring everything to see who had the biggest part.
I looked at the bull directly in front of me and he gave me a look that let's you know you are in the way and you wouldn't win !
I quickly shut the gate!! Then moved out of the way!
Now I have heard two bulls "talking" across the road to each other but I have never been directly between two when they were chatting!
Oh my gosh!!! Sooo loud!!! I don't usually get too worried about things but there are some things you just "know" you don't mess with! Bulls are something though you always watch no matter what.
It was like two huge grizzly bears sparing.
Hubby got the cows back where they belonged and I guess they distracted bully enough we could open the gate without issues .
Wow! All these years and that was something I have never encountered up close and personal.
The picture above I barrowed from the net but they are the same color and size to give you a idea.
