    The bandannas were pink. He’s well fed. What the hell? (Sorry I’m just boggling on this one). I had a ewe once. Scoured high and low. Caught her eating insulation. I raced after her desperately trying to get it away from her while it disappeared down her gullet. I wrote her off as done (couldn’t...

    I could be off on weight but- small freezer ornery steer and other considerations. Hoping this alternative roughage will not cause problems.

    Had to close off a section of pasture with a cattle panel. I tied 3 bandannas on it so our steer would notice and not run into/trash the ‘gate’. He ATE the bandannas. I rescued one. He’s 700 plus pounds and headed to freezer camp in two weeks. How much trouble should I expect?

    Thank you. Unfortunately no further news. My neighbor hiked and found nothing except coyote and hog sign, neither unusual. Seems like a lot longer than 3 weeks since he went missing.

    North Texas is north of its range. Wandering or escaped exotic? Years ago someone had African lions in the county. Wouldn’t want those out.

    No sign of Sam. We have at least 2 packs of coyotes in the vicinity according to neighbors. And six new lambs. One bottle baby who is a hoot. We continue to hope.

    No better than I see I don’t have any business shooting distances. I have neighbors who enjoy hunting and if they rid the neighborhood of predators we non shooters compensate in meat, eggs etc.

    He’s good. An early, thorough wound flush helped. He didn’t think much of that. Followed up w antibiotics.

    We have a pole light, it’s closer to the house. Wonder what kind of music? Coyotes always sort of struck me as punk rockers so maybe light classical as a deterrent?

    Coyotes definitely have us on their radar. Dogs are holding them off. Sure miss Sam. You don’t realize what all they do til they aren’t doing it. No news but lots of coverage. New lambs born. We’re all busy.
