Granbury again

The cows were missing. I' d not seen a single cow since I arrived. They were gone. All of them, Snow White, Cinderella, Gertrude, Jesse, White Star, Buffy, all were not where they were supposed to be. This was a job for a horse or a four wheeler. I picked the four wheeler, Dakota and Breezy had too much attitude for such a job.

I grabbed one of my Dad's straw hats and pulled the four wheeler out of the barn, started her up and off I went. I love following the cow trail, you get to go through some nice dips and turns. It's fun. I followed the trail out to the far pasture, not a cow in sight. I moved to the fence line, followed it to the neighboring farm, where those cows looked a bit worried, and uncertain of me on my four wheels. I followed the fence, didn't find a break anywhere. I headed up to the other pasture and did the same thing. The horses started following me, Bubba, the donkey got real close to me, too close, I shooed him off.
Still no cows.
I drove along the entire 40 acres of fence one more time for good measure. No cows.

Later I learned they had jumped two fences in a quest for love. They found a willing and available bull a couple of pastures away. I've never seen a cow jump a fence, I hope I see that some day.
