Still no sign of the cow, and none of the neighbors have seen hide-nor-hair of him. Hmmm...And now some of the chickens are getting out, too. What the heck is going on around here!
Here is the repeat offender - caught in our live trap. These traps are great - they help manage the trouble animals, and help keep the other animals in-check. We need a few big ones around for the cow...
Its a bit easier keeping the chickens in. It has been about 6 months since we clipped their wings, so it was a good time to go through the flock and trim them up.
Simply hold the bird securly, and trim along the primary feathers off the wing, like so.
Here is the whole wing, completed. Easy and quick to do - it is enough to keep these ladies grounded and in their pens.And now off to find that steer...
