Glad your dogs are ok. Sounds like you've got some good ones. I have a question though, how do you know the difference between coyotes and coydogs? Is it because they are braver by coming close to the house?

Coy dogs don't look like Coyotes do most of the time or they might be bigger on average and more aggressive. Not as affraid of humans. The county is getting envolved now and should nip this problem in the bud soon enough, they have a good group of officers.

Another small dusting of snow last night. It was a pretty morning sun rise. Chief will be taking it easy for a couple of days. Shaggy the Galloway Bull looks cool with a dusting of snow on him.
Truck broke down but I should get it back by tomorrow, which is fine I don't use it all that much during the winter as one may think. Unless I have to take large animals in bulk to sale or to the vet. Other wise I can use my Explorer which does a good enough job pullings a small trailer. My wife has an older car she refuses to get rid of, lol. 1988 Firebird is my Wifes car of choice. She had a girl crush on Hasselhoff and Select, lol. I give her grief about it whenever I can. She always breaking down in the winter, ugh.

I'm still searching for a Purple cow, I hope to find one someday. I hear they are rarely seen in Canada.

Polypays are in with the rest of the flock now.

Used a night vision scope tonight to hunt me some Coyote, I like technology sometimes. I think me and my friend P took out a large part of a pack but its not the Coy dog group.

Well the Hawkeye's got a Bowl game with their .500 season . I'm not sure they deserve it or any other team with a .500 record. Our ISU Cyclones worked hard this year with a tough schedule for a bowl game, which is awesome as this University has had a less than good team for some years.

As for Pro football thats American football for all those internationals. I'm more of a NFL overall fan, I appreciate the game as a whole so I root for many teams in my own way. Packers are doing great. I'm enjoying seeing Bengals, Lions and Bills have a decent year. I can't believe how bad the Colts are doing without Peyton Manning. Even one of my secret childhood favorites SeaHawks are doing better.

Little Red living up to her name sake. Caught her chasing off a Fox today, lol. She would put her head down, do a few hilarious stomps with her front hooves and then maaa, CHARGE. I think the Fox was more affraid of Red's mom in close pursuit but Little Red didn't know better, lol. Mulan soon joined in the antics, I swear that Red is a bad influence.

Moved the Bulls of to their winter pasture so Tank and Troulbe can at least get some weight back on them for next years breeding season. Got to keep them out of sight of the cows or they will pace the fence like Frat boys on Sorority Row, hee hee. I have a nice hidden away spot for them but its hard to get to from my property in deep snow or heavy mud to check on them so I've enlisted the help of an old timer who I think secretly enjoys it. The Old Timer is in his early 80's and takes as payment a half a deer a year to watch over my Bulls for a few months out of the year. I drop off the square bales in bulk for future feedings and thats about it, theres a decent sized pond with a small air pump as it has growing Walleye in it so not all the pond freezes. Of course I let the few older guys around me fish in a few of my remaining fish ponds, maybe thats why he gives me a good deal.

I prefer Catfish, Perch and Bass.

Really had to get alot done today. Patched a few holes in the old barn roof, I don't like hieghts. Suppose to get snow on Monday and then a strong chance of rain during the day Tuesday and Wednesday. Gonna keep the Geese in the back barn stall until this Coyote problem is over.

Hope you clear them out soon.

Found a half eaten lamb hanging on the fence today. First time the Llama's have failed on their job. I put the rest of the lamb in a trap to see what I catch tonight. By the way those live traps are expensive especially the dog size ones.
