I bet those little floppy eared freaks could clear a rock wall.

How do you eat a poached egg on a bagel?
Fork and steak knife.

Free range/ bush cattle would hop over that wall without looking back.  We rented pasture to feedlots that brought in grass calves from federal land every spring and loaded them up in early fall.  We have hedge posts every 10 ft w/twiss on stays 3.5 ft apart on very tight 5 wire bared fence.  It was five feet high and those wild MFers would jump over or break the fence if they got their heads in it.  All the farmers bordering us had cow/calf operations with very shitty three/four wire fences.  My job was to ride fence and make sure the windmills had the water tanks filled every fricking day.
Grass calves are yearlings weighing 450-600 lbs in their physical prime.  No doubt some of those wild af horny af steers would clear it with the smell of love immenating from the neighbors pasture.

These old girls are 5-7 years old at 1,400 lbs with a calf not likely to follow... part of the year, these gals are contained by a single hot wire.

We did get cattle from Mississippi for a time that had some "ear" on them.  Some of those wild boys would make a leap for it in the sorting pens.  Pretty sure we added a pipe or two in the alley to curtail the escapees.

whoa.  that's a pretty amazing stonewall for kansas.
That wall runs a half mile between quarters.  I got to hand it to my neighbor he has made a real effort to put rocks back on top of that, cleaned trees, maintained it.  I desecrated my half punching a whole thru it for a gate when we bought an adjacent 40.

I will have to do a rock wall tour one of these times, including the hole where all of that rock was quarried.  My dad and fellow farmer always said a good man could quarry and lay a rod (16.5 ft) of rock wall in a day.

It's amazing how much rock is in those walls.  We've scalped rock off a couple for flower beds, and fill the pick up bed and it looks like you barely made a dent.

It seems like the cows could pretty easily jump that stone wall. Does that happen or do the cows just say "Meh, got plenty of sweet sweet flint hills grass over on my side".
Cows don't have a lot of hops.  Yes, contented cows don't look to break out unless there is a threat.  There's also a barbed wire fence, all be it poor, on the other side of that wall, too.

Mother's Day fishing with #1 and grandkids. Did my Gator ad shot.  Tater got left on shore with me.  He was not happy, but I didnt think  he would go for it.  I am weed eating the picnic area and turning around in time to see him hop in and start swimming for the pontoon.  Dude made it!

Brush bovine all good and docile with their calves.

A crane that inhabits our pond stood its ground today with the cows who dared wander too close.  I don't know if it had egg or chick in the reeds, but it typically flies to nearby trees when there's activity at the farm.

Tater took it in from the safety of the pontoon.

Early summer patio grilling is second only to late fall grilling.

We got two older Yamaha Grizzly 700’s from a retired couple who were making the switch to a side by side. Both are EFI, but only one is power steering (I make my son drive the non-powered one). We drove them all over hell and back the first weekend…to dinner, get groceries, etc.
Jealous.

Except for Tom and Dax, I got my first tat before most of you were born.  My newest tat is 42 yrs old.  Eat that kids.
I would have been 18, pappy.  Still no ink for me.

Wait, he got a 40yd dumpster for that shed?
I did this once as a hint to mrs8 to change her hoarding ways.  Backfired spectacularly.

We had 2,4-D or 2,4,5-T mixed with diesel fuel for brush and thistles.  A soup can to a 3 gal sprayer.
