Nate and Lisle saddled the horses to go find the cows.

We moved some cows from one pasture to another on Saturday. Apparently, our cows were feeling a bit social and broke through the fence to mingle with the neighbor’s cows. Once all the cows were rounded up, there was a bit of sorting to do before loading the trailer. Nate, Matt, and Ken separated the cows without any rodeos this time around. Everything went pretty smoothly.

Matt, Nate, and the boys watched Grandpa drive away with a load of cows.

Moving cows has its down times. The little boys entertained themselves with the cattails growing alongside the road.

“Look Mom! It’s a bomb.”

Who needs video games for blowing things up when you’ve got cattails?
