Shooter Keeps Escapees at Bay

 

     On a few occasions, we have had the heifers get out. The first time it happened, we came home late at night to find many (40 or so) heifers in the back barnyard. They were scattered around. As we looked at the situation more closely, we noticed hoof tracks coming down the driveway toward the road. Then the tracks just stopped and turned around. Forty heifers would not just stop and turn around like that without help…so we highly suspected that Shooter kept them off the road. The next time I awoke in the morning to see the heifers out and Shooter keeping them off the driveway. When I came out to help him, I just stood in the driveway (to block off one of the two exits). He put them back through the gate and then I closed it. I gave him a leftover hamburger after that!
