We are supposed to have a blizzard today and into tomorrow. Just be glad you do not have to contend with a LOT of snow. SOME Texans cheat like the game we just played there. The officials favored Texas on the most important call of the night and I bet the really great Texan quarterback with the really great arm and speed beats out our Suh for the Hiesman trophy. Oh well, just call it a little resentment because my TX. family has been so disappointing.Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02272388069537746789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2967955433805290702.post-36450223857717356702009-12-08T07:10:52.251-06:002009-12-08T07:10:52.251-06:00Have found most horse owners (99%) and all snowmo...Have found most horse owners (99%) and all snowmobilers care little about cattle fences. They all believe these fences are our respouncabilty whether their damage has been reported to us or not. A courtious and human act upon their part they feel no respouncabilty to act upon it at all.Fernanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07493966282981032470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2967955433805290702.post-18542290553525715582009-12-07T22:16:34.590-06:002009-12-07T22:16:34.590-06:00Mercy Child, you sure must have a busy road...I ha...Mercy Child, you sure must have a busy road...I hate when folks just ride on in and make a mess...sounds like DWI to me too...or maybe that hog...coulda, woulda, shoulda,..who knows. Glad no one got hurt.<br />We lost a black angus with calf that broke fence, wandered onto the road and got hit by a fella who fell asleep. He said he never saw her, well, of course not, he was asleep., and it was a black cow on a pitch black night, funny, but I do remember seeing his headlights. Turns out, he was a butcher from the city who for the first time in his life, saw a butchering job done from the hoof up, johnny-on-the-spot. He was so shocked at the process he said he was going home to quit his job. We had to laugh.<br />Anyway, glad the fence is mended and your cattle never got out, that's an expensive loss. <br />We try to get to TX annually but not as far south as you are...have a great winter there and stay warm.<br />Blessings Be YoursDarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16642092433299872708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2967955433805290702.post-29538181820304262372009-12-07T22:00:18.694-06:002009-12-07T22:00:18.694-06:00Never a dull day at the ranch.

But I guess the people would still run into it, and would probably be killed. So, I guess it is best to just keep fixing the fence each time.
