H-mom would patiently walk out here and take Sadie back to her area. I personally saw this happen 4 times yesterday and who knows how many other times she made the walk?
Then Nate and I got into a bit of a fight through the gate separating us. Of course, he started it with his cocky attitude and I had to stand up to him. The main casualty was the gate! We, I mean Nate bent the gate so badly the hinge broke, so here comes h-mom again first to get Nate and me in separate areas again, then to try and secure the broken gate until it can be replaced. With much creativity and some baling wire she got it standing again, but Nate got moved another pen away so we have no common fence line or gates to destroy.
And then there's little Star and her penchant for putting her head in places she can't get it back out of. This has been going on since Star's horns became big enough to get her stuck. H-mom has to go release her from a fence several times EVERY day. You'd think she'd learn, but between us, she isn't sharpest horn in the barn if you know what I mean. Well with everything else going on, h-mom's patience came to a screeching halt after releasing Star 3 times in one hour.
At first the rumor was that h-mom had shot Star in the head with an arrow! Of course, I knew she would never do such a thing, but indeed it did look a bit like Star had an arrow going right through her head from a distance and she was keeping her distance.
She was humiliated and embarrassed by the true situation, h-mom had stuck a stick behind her horns and vetwrapped it on there good so she couldn't stick her head into small areas anymore.
She couldn't believe it, after all she is a Star so she went off to sulk in the shelter by herself.
We all knew we had better chill for a bit, because h-mom was fed up with our antics and it's not wise to push humans too far.
