I truly do appreciate learning all the wonderful things I do on your blog. <br /><br />And, by the way, that squash is so lovely. If I lived close to you, you can be sure I'd be happy to share in your bounty. :-)Bethhttp://blueridgebluecollargirl.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3642807619836239233.post-8378224715409658012010-09-22T10:28:00.543-04:002010-09-22T10:28:00.543-04:00Barbara!

Thankfully, we sit in the middle of 200 acres so the stock getting out usually means they get out on OUR place! It's so aggravating, though! Every time we turn around another group is testing us!<br /><br />You, too, Vicki? I love the phrase "outage of cows!" It's also an "outage of patience" on the part of the farmers, here JOTOLR. So, guess what WE are doing today!!<br /><br />Beth! <br />Great to hear from you!! Hope I didn't sound "authoritative" on the DB cows! We only learned of the difference when we purchased the DB's. And, yes...good old electric is good when it's good, and very bad when it's not working, lacking a suitable (wet) ground to make that sucker sting! We have a VERY powerful "clicker" and when it's hot, buddy, it's HOT! When it's not...all goes to heck in a handbag! Glad to know you're OK, girl! Stay in touch, please!<br />EloraElorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04579555623060708938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3642807619836239233.post-36485686274806399222010-09-22T07:54:38.539-04:002010-09-22T07:54:38.539-04:00Perhaps the turkeys know that Thanksgiving is immi...Perhaps the turkeys know that Thanksgiving is imminent! :-)<br /><br />We don't really mind when our farmer neighbor's cows cross the fence into our pasture. It means a nice long chat over the fence with a very nice man. <br /><br />Thank you, Elora, for enlightening me about your cows in my previous comment. As always, such interesting information. I'm afraid I showed my bovine ignorance, but I feel a little wiser now! I really do learn so much from your blog---thank you. For example, I never knew that electric fences don't work when it is very dry. Makes perfect sense, of course, but I'd never thought about that.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12575140898505901920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3642807619836239233.post-19887005195443785502010-09-21T23:55:15.958-04:002010-09-21T23:55:15.958-04:00We had an outage of cows at midday.

I ha...Elora -- Had to laugh at your animal follies. I have a farmer down the road that has an electric fence to keep his cattle inside and grazing on his land. Ever once in a while I become acquainted up-close with one of his animals as it grazes along my drive sending my dogs into a tizzy. I call the farmer and report this escapee and all is well. All fun and games. -- barbara.Folkways Note Bookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07168881905408345126noreply@blogger.com
